Recent work from the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna confirms that sulfonamides can be used to control coccidiosis in piglets, although not without considerable effort and expense. In contrast, the drug toltrazuril is easy to use and provides efficient protection, although even piglets treated with toltrazuril become ill for other reasons unless they are kept under hygienic conditions. Joachim's results have just been published in the journal Parasitology Research.
