Toltrazuril 5% Liquid Solution for Sheep – Now in Apple Flavor for Better Taste
Overview:
Toltrazuril 5% Liquid Solution is an effective coccidiostat specifically designed to prevent and treat Coccidiosis in sheep. Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by protozoa, leading to significant health problems and productivity losses in sheep. This solution is now available in a palatable apple flavor to ensure easy administration and better acceptance by sheep.
Signs That Your Sheep May Need Toltrazuril:
Coccidiosis in sheep can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Diarrhea (often bloody)
- Dehydration
- Weight loss
- Lethargy
- Poor growth in lambs
- In severe cases, death may occur, especially in young lambs
If you notice any of these signs in your flock, administering Toltrazuril can help control and eliminate the infection.
Usage:
Toltrazuril 5% Liquid Solution is designed to combat coccidiosis by targeting the developmental stages of coccidia. This treatment helps reduce the parasite load in infected sheep and prevents further outbreaks when administered as a preventive measure.
Dosage and Treatment Schedule for Sheep:
The recommended dosage of Toltrazuril for sheep is **20 mg/kg of body weight**, which is equivalent to **1 mL of Toltrazuril 5% solution per 5 kg (11 lbs) of body weight**. Administer this dose orally using a dose syringe.
Single Dose Treatment: Administer the full dose once and repeat after one week if necessary, especially in environments where coccidiosis is persistent.
Preventive Use: In high-risk environments, you can administer Toltrazuril as a preventive measure every 4-6 weeks, particularly in lambs during periods of stress such as weaning or changes in environment.
Make sure to provide supportive care, such as adequate hydration, alongside treatment.
Action:
Toltrazuril works by inhibiting the development of coccidia at multiple stages of their lifecycle. This ensures effective control of the parasite, leading to a healthier flock with improved growth rates and productivity.
Benefits for Sheep:
Using Toltrazuril 5% Solution for your sheep helps to:
- Reduce mortality rates caused by coccidiosis
- Improve overall flock health and growth rates

Resistance Prevention:
To prevent coccidia from developing resistance to Toltrazuril, it is recommended to rotate its use with other coccidiostats such as Ponazuril or Albendazole. Regularly rotating treatments helps maintain effectiveness and prevents resistance buildup.
