Efficacy of an injectable toltrazuril - gleptoferron (Forceris) to control coccidiosis () in comparison with iron supplemented piglets without anticoccidial treatment.

The efficacy and safety of an injectable combination product containing toltrazuril and gleptoferron (Forceris - CEVA) for the control of coccidiosis due to was investigated in neonatal piglets. The study was carried out on five European commercial pig farms in France, Germany and Spain and 122 litters consisting of 1508 piglets were selected and randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups. The first group received a single intramuscular injection per piglet of the test product, containing 45 mg toltrazuril and 200 mg iron and this was compared with a control group, which was administered a single intramuscular treatment of iron at 200 mg per piglet only.

Inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum under laboratory conditions.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate alternatives for inactivating Cryptosporidium parvum under experimental conditions. Disinfectants against this protozoan are usually based on cresols and often difficult to handle in laboratories. Four different substances (ethanol, denatured ethanol, sodium hypochlorite and peroxide) at different concentrations were tested for several exposure times (30 min, 2 h, 4 h, 12 h and 24 h).
