The organisms involved in this disease are multiple but the most important are Eimeria eznernii, E. bovis and E. alabamensis. Tenesmus and diarrhoea, often containing fresh blood, are seen at about a month of age. Diagnosis is by counting oocysts in the faeces using a McMaster slide. Treatment should be rehydration and a coccidiostat, e.g. toltrazuril or diclazuril, orally. Decoquinate or monensin can be used in feed prophylactically (the latter is not licensed in the UK).
