Efficacy of diclazuril against turkey coccidiosis in dose-titration studies.

Abstract

Diclazuril, a new anticoccidial drug, was tested for its efficacy in turkeys against single Eimeria infections. Dose-titration studies indicated that diclazuril at dosages of 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 ppm was highly effective against the major pathogenic species-E. adenoeides, E. gallopavonis, and E. meleagrimitis-in terms of weight gain and suppression of lesions, abnormal droppings, and oocyst shedding.
