**6.6 Treatment and control**

Coccidiostats drugs are used for treatment. All animals in the flock should be treated. Trimetoprim+Sulfadoxine (16-24 mg/kg) can be used for three days by intramuscularly in lambs and kids (Ozmen et al., 2004). Amprolium (10 mg/kg BW) for 5 days or 65 mg/kg BW one dose can be effective in calves (Radostits et al., 2008). Diclazuril and toltrazuril are also coccidiocidal drugs (Matthews, 2009). Ghanem et al., (2008), suggested that toltrazuril is more effective than sulphadimine and amprolium in E. Bbovis and E. zuernii oocysts shedding in buffalo calves.

Because of the low serum vitamin C levels in lambs with coccidiosis, administration of vitamin C is suggested to be useful combined with the classical treatment (Sahinduran et al., 2006).

Hygiene in the house, minimisation of predisposing factors, avoiding the overcrowding of animals in the pens, control of the pastures for parasite are important factors for the control of coccidiosis.
