The first weeks on feed are critical. Calves are adjusting and their immune systems are developing. Unseen threats like coccidiosis can silently steal their potential. Unlike treatments that only react after damage to the gut is done, Deccox Type A Medicated Article prevents coccidiosis before it starts — without disrupting intake or performance — to help calves stay healthy and productive.
Decoquinate (synthetic quinoline) is an antiprotozoal, nonantibiotic feed additive approved for the prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii. Because it is a coccidiostat, its mechanism of action is inhibition of parasite mitochondrial respiration at the level of electron transport. Deccox prevents coccidiosis by stopping the development of coccidia early in their life cycle, thus controlling both clinical and subclinical coccidiosis and reducing treatment costs and performance losses associated with clinical outbreaks.
