~~ There is no positive prevention or cure for Coccidiosis, but much can be done to minimize the problem. Because of its prevalence and severity, prevention is much better than treatment. 3

The use of medicated SHUR-GAIN feed is the most prac- tical preventive measure. In fact, without feed medica- tion for coccidiosis, today's mass production of chicks would be impossible. Medication is sound insurance! At 8 weeks, switch to a SHUR-GAIN Pullet Growing Pro-
