It is really for horses, but as with most "goat" products it is labeled otherwise but works. There is a study that says that after so long of a herd being treated with this, it kills it out of the herd. The vet and I spoke about this for a while with the conclusion that if the older ones are pooping this cocci out on the ground, after a while it dies off on your property and isn't seen again. There was a 5 year study done on it. I plan on using it again if something comes up before next spring when I will treat all the animals with the baycox. I want to use the baycox because in the long run, it is a TON cheaper than mystique. But one of the goats that I had gotten from Kentucky had a re occuring episode with the cocci this year. The Corid did not prevent it. Twice. So, I got desperate and went to a farm vet that a lot of the farmers here trust. It came to $5.03 per animal to treat, but so worth it in the long run. I have spent tons of money on electrolyte, Corid, Pepto, etc. to try and treat this. And one dose of Mystique and it was gone in two days. We did a fecal and it is gone. Wonderful stuff.
But as said, it is along the same lines as Baycox, just Baycox wasn't readily available. This doeling cost me more than any of the others, and I was desperate.
Minelson, our babies were treated with Baycox. I haven't seen a symptom out of them. I am impressed with it. Because they are in the same area as the doeling who had it and no signs yet. So, apparently it works.
