Scour is the most common intestinal health problem affecting young cattle

SCOUR is the most common intestinal health problem affecting young cattle and milk-fed calves.

Calves are most susceptible during their first month of life. Up to 50% of calf deaths are scour related from which more than half are due to infectious scour.

Today, few drugs are available for the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis and cryptosporidiosis. Anticoccidials act only in the gut. Proper cleaning and disinfection measures are the first help tool in the fight against coccidiosis and cryptosporidiosis. Preventative hygiene measures are the best because most damage occurs before signs appear.

The goal of the cleaning and disinfection procedure is to break the route transmission. What is KENOCOX?

Kenocox is a broad spectrum disinfectant effective against excreted endoparasites (e.g.

Coccidia spp., Cryptosporidium parvum), viruses (e.g. Rotavirus) and bacteria (e.g. E. coli). KENOCOX helps reduce infection pressure in animal houses. It can be applied on all kinds of surface.

Kenocox is a unique patented formula without phenol, safe for users, equipment and animals. HOW TO USE KENOCOX – THE PROTOCOL 1) Clean out the shed completely of all organic matter, especially focus on where the problem was prevalent in the previous calving season.

2) Wash out the shed thoroughly, preferably using a good detergent (e.g KENOSAN) for pre washing to soften stubborn areas of dried in dung and straw. Pay particular attention to the angles between wall to wall and wall to floor.

3) Allow the shed to dry and spray or foam the floor with Kenocox solution. Disinfect all surfaces, floors, walls and equipment that might come in contact with animals.
