' ' Too Much Treatment for Coccidiosis' Can Be Dangerous We find many poultrymen overtreating for coccidiosis Many are feeding a mash con taining a coccidiosis .preventive - from day old until maturity. When the birds reach maturity * and have to be taken off the coccidiosis medicine they sometimes come down with a dose of coccidiosis They evi dently haven’t developed any resistance to the disease. The birds become thin. They do not lay well and some birds may die. We at Babcock Poultry Farm - suggest that you think twice before using a coccidiosis pre ventive for birds to be used for layers. (Perhaps it’s O K. for birds being raised for broilers.) We 'prevent coccidiosis by good management For you, if coccidiosis strikes it might be well to treat with a sulfa drug for several days as .recom mended by the manufacturer and then discontinue the treat, ment. On this basis your birds ’ will probably develop a natural immunity to coccidiosis and will probably be much better layers for you. If at all pos sible. use sanitation and good - rearing and lots of room to prevent coccidiosis. Also the earlier you get your bullets to roosting the less likely they are to have Hrouble with this disease. How to raise your chicks is fully described in Babcock’s • 1957 literature. It tells all about how Babcock Bessies . are bred to give you the great est profits.
