    gold matts
    Coccidiosis is a protozoan parasite disease of cattle caused by Eimeria species. It commonly affects young cattle under two years old. Signs include watery diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, dehydration, and weight loss. Treatment involves antibiotics like amprolium and sulfamethazine. Prevention focuses on housing cattle separately by age, cleaning to remove feces from living areas and feed, and occasionally adding anticoccidial drugs to feed.
