Nine days after admission to the pasture 21 of 50 growing Cows began to suffer from diarrhea with bloody feces. Oocysts which seemed to be of Eimeria zuernii were detected from the feces. OPG was 3.8×104 in severely affected cows. A diagnosis of bovine caccidiosis was made. Mild and sevree cases were cured with 1-3 dasages and 4-9 dosages of sulfamonomethoxine, sespectively. Gain in body weight was hardly seen in severely affected cows for about a month. It returned to a normal condition in these cows four months after treatment.
