CocciAid for Calves Amprolium Oral Solution 9.6%, 32 fl oz

A 946 mL bottle of CocciAid for Calves, a 9.6% amprolium oral solution labeled as an aid in treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in calves.

Calf-labeled amprolium solution

CocciAid for Calves is a 9.6% amprolium oral solution in a 946 mL, or 32 fl oz, bottle. This UPC identifies the calf formulation. It is not the separate poultry CocciAid product, so check the full name on the container when restocking or comparing an existing bottle. Aurora Pharmaceutical’s label lists Eimeria bovis and E. zurnii and describes the product as an aid in treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in calves. The label also advises microscopic examination of feces for a satisfactory diagnosis and prompt treatment after an outbreak diagnosis. Those details help distinguish the intended product from broad-spectrum supplements and from products labeled for other animals. The bottle is useful for a cattle operation that needs liquid amprolium for label-directed herd treatment or prevention. Choose it by matching the animal species, active ingredient, concentration, and package volume on the label. The solution contains 96 mg of amprolium in each milliliter. Its label describes two protocols, one for treatment and one for prevention, with separate directions for drinking-water administration and drenching. Those methods use different mix rates. Read the complete package label before preparing the solution, and use a current body-weight estimate when following the labeled drench directions. Do not copy a rate from a poultry product or another amprolium concentration. The label says to mix the drinking-water solution fresh each day and to offer it as the only source of water for the specified protocol period. It also describes drench solutions that may be kept in a clean, closed, labeled container for up to three days. When one or more calves show signs during an outbreak, the label says the rest of the group may have been exposed and all calves in that group should be treated. A veterinarian can help confirm the diagnosis and decide whether treatment or prevention is appropriate for the herd. This package is labeled for calves. The label requires a 24-hour withdrawal before slaughter, says a withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves, and says not to use in calves to be processed for veal. It also describes the product as for oral use in animals only and warns that it may cause eye irritation. Keep the original bottle and label together so the concentration, withdrawal language, use directions, and lot information remain available while the solution is in use.
