Dosage questions for coccidiosis.

I was wondering about what works for you. When preventively treating for coccidiosis, is it still a 5-day treatment like the curing dose? Do you use less per body weight when treating preventively?
I’ve read a lot that says every 3 weeks but not sure if it’s still a 5-day thing. Any specifics for dosages and meds that has worked for you would be appreciated.

I too would like to hear some practices for cocci. Both prevention and treatment. What is your experience, why do you choose the method you use? Two years ago the vet just bave us a little bottle of stuff and said use this, I am looking for more help than that.

"At day 20, start on Cocci prevention. Use Corid or your sulfa, dosages in goatkeeping 101 on dairygoatinfo.com once a day for 5 days then
repeat every 20 days until well grown and on meat goat pellets that contain their cocci med (decoquinate, rumensin, lasalocid, bovatec)."
