"Ecoli Guard is recommended as an aid in the prevention and reduction of scours -related sickness and death in both piglets and calves," says Rudy Nusink, marketing manager. "It con- tains antigens specifically selected to combat bacterial scours in both spe- cies." Administered in two doses prior to farrowing or calving, Ecoli Guard is transferred to the baby pigs or calves in the mother's colostrum or milk. In newbom pigs, the product offers protection from scours caused by en- terotoxemia of Clostridium perfringens Type C as well as colibacillosis caused by K88, K99, and 987P postivie E. coli serotypes. These are the strains identi- fied as causing the greatest amount of scouring in neonatal swine. In calves, the vaccine helps to pre- vent scours caused by enterotoxemia as well as colibacillosis with K99 positive E. coli serotypes, the strain most preva- lent in neonatal calves.0 ADDITIVE DETERS COCCIDIOSIS Rumensin, a feed additive from Elanco, is now registered to help pre- vent coccidiosis in beef cattle. Rumen - sin is already widely used in commercial feedlots to improve feed efficiency and lower the cost of gain. Coccidiosis is a highly contagious form of enteritis which causes damage to the lining of the intestine of cattle. In severe cases, it can cause death. It is estimated that coccidiosis costs the North American cattle industry mil- lions of dollars a year. Even more im- portant are the losses caused by the subclinical effects of coccidiosis: im- paired feed conversions and lower average daily gains. Rumensin in the cattle feeding pro- gram can help prevent the disease by killing its organism in the intestine be- fore it causes damage.0
