Does lasalocid hurt goats?
Lasalocid is a coccidiostat but it is not registered for use in goats - I would talk to your veterinarian.
What is withdrawl period for lasalocid in cattle?
There is none. Lasalocid sodium does not have an established withdrawal period prior to slaughter, primarily because scientific studies show it is not necessary.
What effect does lasalocid have on dogs?
Small amounts like a calf pellet or two every once in a while are not bad (unless it's a small dog). If the dog eats a large amount it can kill them. The lasalocid will kill off the good bacteria in the dogs digestive tract causing digestive tract failure. If a dog eats a large amount of feed with lasalocid in it, get a probiotic supplement for dogs at the pet store and keep him on them for several days.
Is lasalocid toxic to cattle?
Yes, lasalocid can be toxic to cattle if ingested in excessive amounts. It is an ionophore antibiotic used in livestock to promote growth and prevent coccidiosis, but high doses can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms such as incoordination, lethargy, and even death. Careful dosage management is essential to ensure the safety and health of cattle. Always consult a veterinarian before using lasalocid or any medication in livestock.
What has the author Bruce T Hopman written?

A friend has two bull calves approx 3 mos what should she feed them?
Plenty of green grass and or hay and a 12%-14% creep feed. The calves need lasalocid for good rumen development.
What are the positive and negative effect of lasalocid on horses?
Lasalocid is fatal in all equids, please keep your feeds in original bags preferebly with labels intact. Allways read entire label of any new feed.While it is sometimes O.K. to use things as an "off label use" if you're going to do so do some research before trying as lots of feeds and medicines DON'T MIX!Particulary rumenent feeds.Usually O.K. for other rumenents {as cattle feeds fed to goats... etc } but not allways- such as goat feeds have too much copper to be safe for sheep and so on.
What is the reason for medicated salt licks?
Safe-Guard makes dewormer salt licks to combat various parasites that infect cattle. Bovatec makes salt licks with lasalocid sodium for the purpose of helping increase the rate of gain for pasture stocker/slaughter/feeder/replacement cattle. These two brands are the only known "medicated" salt blocks that is made for livestock; all other salt blocks are not medicated and are primarily of trace mineral, iodine, cobalt and iodine or iron, cobalt and iodine. None of these other blocks are termed "medicated." Also, there is no known company that makes salt blocks with ephedrine or any other drug other than the dewormer medicine made by Safe-Guard and increase ADG by Bovatec.

What is the best antibiotic for coccidiosis in poultry?
Coccidiosis in poultry is caused by a protozoan parasite, not bacteria. This means antibiotics are not the first line of treatment. Instead, anticoccidial drugs—often mistakenly called “antibiotics”—are used to treat and prevent the disease. The effectiveness of these products depends on proper usage and a good Anticoccidial Rotation program to prevent resistance. In poultry farming, anticoccidials are grouped into two major categories: ionophores and chemical anticoccidials. Many poultry producers use a combination of these through shuttle programs or seasonal rotations. 1. Ionophores (Preventive Anticoccidials) Ionophores are widely used because they control coccidia gently and support better gut health. Based on your product list: Lasalocid – Glavitro LASA Maduramicin – Glavitro Dura Salinomycin – Glavitro SM Monensin – Glavitro Mona These products help limit the multiplication of coccidia and keep the infection under control, especially in broiler operations. They are commonly used as in-feed preventive solutions. 2. Chemical Compounds (Curative Anticoccidials) Chemical anticoccidials act faster and directly target the coccidia parasite. Your available formulations: Robendine Diclazuril Nicarbazin Diclazuril and Nicarbazin are considered highly effective during sudden outbreaks because they act on multiple life stages of the parasite. 3. Mixed Compounds (Stronger Control Programs) Mixed formulations combine two anticoccidials to provide broader control. From your range: Maruramacin + Nicarbazin – Glavitro Monensin + Nicarbazin – Glavitro MNX These are effective in farms facing heavy coccidial pressure or resistance issues. So, which is the “best” for coccidiosis? There is no single best anticoccidial for all farms. The right choice depends on: Type of Eimeria species present Resistance patterns Farm history Age of birds Type of production (broilers, layers, breeders) This is why experts recommend using a proper Anticoccidial Rotation program—shifting between ionophores, chemicals, and combination products across production cycles. This reduces the risk of resistance and keeps performance stable. Supporting the flock with good nutrition, clean litter, ventilation, and strong gut health management is also essential.
