A few neighbors have had
coccidiosis in their small
goat and sheep herds. At the
present, I have about 50 bred
ewes and have not had
trouble with the disease to
date. Bat, if at all possible, I
would like to be on the safe
side:
Is there any vaccination
for coccidiosis that I could
safely use? Is this disease
more of a problem in young
animals than adults? Any
other information on this
would be most helpful.
Thank you.

Dr. Sheaffer comments:
Coccidiosis in sheep and
goats is an infectious disease
of the intestinal tract caused
by a protozoan parasite.
As a matter of fact, there
are six species of this
protozoan that may be
pathogenic for sheep and
goats. This culprit is a
member of the genus, or
family, that goes by the
name Euneria.
Unfortunately, this
disease is more severe in
young, growing stock. Adults
are less subject to the
disease.
As I describe the disease
symptoms and treatments,
keep in mind that what I say
for sheep applies equally to
goats.
A sheep owner usually
becomes suspicious that
something is wrong when the
hind-quarters of the lambs

are soiled with manure.
Further observation will
reveal these lambs are
depressed and are losing
weight. Signs of active
coccidiosis include diarrhea,
intestinal hemorrhage,
along with the weight loss.
Coccidosis should not be
confused with entertoxemia
type D, pulpy kidney
disease, which has a higher
mortality and affects the
animals at a faster rate,
your veterinarian will be
able to help you to dif
ferentiate between the two
diseases.
One major difference
between the two diseases is
enterotoxemia can be
prevented by vaccinating
pregnant ewes three weeks
before lambing, and then
vaccinating the lambs at
four weeks of age with
Clostridium perfringens type
D toxoid. However, there is
currently no available
vaccine for coccidiosis.
Lambs with a mild case of
coccidiosis may have
diarrhea and loss of appetite
for only two or three days.
Some of them will recover
spontaneously without
treatment.
Other lambs will have a
severe infection with much
straining and a dark,
profuse, watery or bloody
diarrhea Severe infections
require prompt treatment
Mortality in the severe
group is commonly ten
percent or more depending
on timely treatment.
If the disease has broken

out in your lambs, consult
your veterinarian for the
recommended therapy
The following list of
medications have been
reported to be effective in
treating the disease:
sulfaguanidme, sulfameraz

prohum, andarsanilic acid.

role in the control of coc
cidiosis. Transmission of the
disease is primarily by the
contamination of lambs’
creep feed with manure.
Creep feeders should be
designed so that they can be
easily cleaned and dism
fected, and readily moved
_ from one „
_ -another..
Adult sheep often spread
the infection in their manure
! droppings without showing
any apparent signs of having
the disease. If the lambs’
feed is contaminated with
this manure and the eggs of
protozoan parasites it
contains, the lambs are
likely to contract coc
cidiosis.
I can’t stress enough the
or pas _
importance of rotating
pastures and feed lots. In
addition, the creep feed for
your lamb crop should be of
adequate quality to supply
the needed energy, protein,
vitamins (especially vitamin
A), minerals and salt.
And if treatment becomes
necessary, I have found
coccidiosis has been suc
cessfully controlled in
