| Abstract: | ABSTRACT: Monensin administered in the feed to Angora billy kids prevented clinical coccidiosis and was associated with reduced fecal oocyst output during the period of medication. Treatment did not interfere with the ability of the goats to develop resistance to coccidiosis. Although treated goats consumed less feed their body weight gains were comparable to the untreated goats. When medication was removed, feed consumption increased to the level of the untreated goats. |
