Welcome to our new audio article from Ceva Sounds Ruminants. The topic of today is Optimizing cryptosporidium treatment in neonatal calves. A content developed by Damien Achard Ruminants Global Technical Manager at Ceva.

In this episode, we explore the critical findings of a recent study evaluating the effectiveness of different dosages of paromomycin for treating cryptosporidiosis in neonatal calves. This parasitic disease, known for causing diarrhea and stunted growth, poses a major threat to young calves and farm productivity. The research, conducted by Ceva Santé Animale in collaboration with the University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, highlights that a dosage of 150 mg/kg over five days significantly improves clinical outcomes. Calves treated at this level showed faster recovery, a notable reduction in diarrhea, and greater weight gain, underscoring the importance of correct dosing for effective disease management and enhanced animal welfare.
