Coccidiosis induced Diarrhea, Growth Implants in Beef, Timing When Processing Calves

On this episode of BCI Cattle Chat the experts cover diarrhea caused by coccidiosis, emphasizing that it’s a common organism managed through reducing stress, maintaining clean and dry conditions, and using appropriate feed additives rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. The team also discuss growth implants, emphasizing their use to improve production efficiency and that hormone levels in beef are biologically minimal, though consumer preferences may justify selling non-implanted beef at a premium. The last topic was a listener question that asked about protocol when gathering cattle before processing. The veterinarians discussed that timing should minimizing stress while ensuring access to feed and water. 4:27 Diarrhea Caused by Coccidiosis 8:34 Growth Implants in Beef 15:44 Timing When Processing Calves For more on BCI Cattle Chat,
