Join the ParaBoss extension team for an in-depth exploration of Coccidiosis in sheep, cattle and goats.

You hear a lot of talk about ‘Coxie’ causing disease in livestock, but what is it?

This parasite more formally called ‘coccidiosis’, affects young sheep, cattle and goats, plus a range of other animal species, including pigs and chooks. As well as death and sickness, Coxie can slow growth rates in young stock. Sometimes undiagnosed stock losses may be due to Coxie.

In this webinar, Dr Alison Gunn will explain the conditions in which Coxie develop, signs and symptoms of the disease and its impact on livestock, plus steps you can take to minimise its impact.
