    Umbarger and coccidiosis prevention

    Idalee - while fecal contamination of the feed can cause coccidiosis, it is not the only reason. Our show calves are pan fed with very little fecal contamination. However our show lots don't get a lot of rest and we do have build up of the coccidia in our show runs. Cattle ingest grass or some...

    Umbarger and coccidiosis prevention

    I agree with having the Bovatec mixed in. The Umbarger brand is a not a custom mix, but a premade show feed. I am not sure why they don't include an ingredient in it for coccidiosis prevention. We do include bovatec in our custom mixes. Rumensin is another popular ionophore for coccidiosis...

    Umbarger and coccidiosis prevention

    I have tried longer levels of corrid crumbles in the past - seems like some of mine didn't like to eat it if they were getting pan fed. TBH I may have been overfeeding a little. When I need to treat one I have had more satisfaction drenching them individually, but this can be time consuming...

    Umbarger and coccidiosis prevention

    Great - Sounds exactly what I was thinking. I see a Deccox 10X product online - dosage is 1/10 lb. per 1000 lb. body weight. Short of buying a gram scale, have you figured out a cup/tablespoon size for a 1/10#? Also how is the palatability on the product? Thanks for the help.

    Umbarger and coccidiosis prevention

    We have been feeding Umbarger Show Feeds to our show heifers for four years and love the results. We do have one problem and that we get a few breaks with coccidiosis from time to time where we get some loose manure. This usually responds well to sulfa antibiotics and corrid. However, I would...

    cooler/wash room

    OK. Decided to take the next step to build a cooler/wash room in my pole shed. I really need a warmer place to wash/clip in the winter and I thought down the road if we wanted to we could make into a cooler for the summer. Generally I have grown pretty decent hair on our heifers and have been...

    Double Dip - What's in There??

    I used to use suave conditioner and vinegar but I feel I get less dandruff and better hair pop with the double dip instead of the suave conditioner. I have never used the laser sheen. Is ii just a concentrated version of Kleen sheen? (dog)

    Double Dip - What's in There??

    We dip the cattle with double dip diluted in a bucket of water. Dump over the calf after washing then comb in. I could try sheen and vinegar.

    Double Dip - What's in There??

    We really like to rinse cattle after washing with double dip and vinegar? I would like to make my own double dip to use at home. Does anyone know the ingredients? I think it is vinegar and something else.
