Thank you for the article. I am wondering what the approximate price is of the Vitcox treatment compared to the usual anticoccidial treatments such as Amprolium?

Hi Catharina,
Thank you for the question/interest in VitCox.
The preventative treatment consists of 0.7ml per head/day for a minimum of 30 days. Based on this the cost would be approx. €2.00 per animal for the 30 day treatment. More info can be found at: http://www.vitfoss.com/cattle/calves/diarreha-products/
If you have any further questions then please let me know.

Is Vitfoss Microfeeders recommended for countries in summer grazing or there are others designed for tropical countries. Kindly give further information indicating its availability in other countries like Kenya where I come from.
