Beef Cattle: Aids in the reduction of bloat, helps prevent and control coccidiosis caused by E. bovis and E. zuernii.
Replacement Heifers: Aids in the reduction of bloat, helps prevent and control coccidiosis caused by E. bovis and E. zuernii.
Sheep: Aids in the control of coccidiosis caused by E. ninakohlyakimovae, E. ahsata, E. faurei, E. parva, E. intricata and E. pallida.
Goats: Aids in the control of coccidiosis caused by E. arloingi.
Broiler and Replacement Layer Chickens: Aids in the prevention of coccidiosis caused by E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E. mivati, E. necatrix and E. tenella.
