Colitox vs Spectam for lambs

Conmaicne Mara

Ran into a sales man at the ploughing ( :rolleyes: ). He was talking to me about this Colitox stuff, said it'd do the job that Spectam does. However there was a big price difference. I currently use Spectam, but the Colitox would work out a lot cheaper.

Anyone use both and care to comment?

I don't use both, but on past experince I wouldn't believe the time of day from that company

spectam works out about 25c per lamb (open to correction here) , an out break of e coli or watery mouth will cost ????

€26 for a 100ml bottle here. i think its cheap considering what it does

as previous poster says i would be sceptical of Agri Lloyd's claims as well. there stuff is hell of a price too
