Anticoccidials

Anticoccidials are compounds that prevent the disease coccidiosis by inhibiting or killing the protozoan parasite Eimeria during its life cycle. They give ideal protection for growth and adequate feed conversion for poultry. Impextraco^® 's anticoccidials quality, allied to the correct use, provides the competitiveness required by the current poultry production market. Considering that coccidiosis is a constant challenge to the poultry industry, the lack of an effective control measure compromises its profitability, as well as the animal health. 
 

Anticoccidials are classified as ionophore, chemical and chemical-ionophore. No matter what type of anticoccidial programme is used, there is an alternation needed between different kinds of products. In a shuttle and rotation programme both ionophores and chemical anticoccidials are indispensable for an appropriate application.

Main benefits

Ionophore Anticoccidials

• Ionophore anticoccidials act against the coccidia during their life cycle in the lumen​

• Effective action against the parasites, decreasing their absolute number inside the bird​

• Additionally, they have antibiotic action, mainly against Gram positive bacteria, such as Clostridium perfringens

Chemical Anticoccidials

• Produced by chemical synthesis​

• Specific mode of action against parasite metabolism​

• Some used in cleaning programmes because they reduce rapidly and substantially the oocyst number in the environment​

Chemical-Ionophore Anticoccidials

• Association of chemical-ionophore anticoccidial provide positive characteristic of both categories​​

• Developed as the appropriate product to be used after​
  Lerbek^®, Robimpex^® and Diclapex^® cleaning programmes​​

Product Range

Ionophore anticoccidials

The Ionophore Anticoccidials act against the coccidia during their life cycle in the lumen. Additionally, they have antibiotic action, mainly against Gram positive bacteria, such as Clostridium perfringens. These characteristics enable an effective action against the parasites, decreasing their absolute number inside the birds.

CHEMICAL ANTICOCCIDIALS

These products are produced by chemical synthesis. Synthetic drugs have a specific mode of action against parasite metabolism. Some are used in cleaning programmes because they reduce rapidly and substantially the oocyst number in the environment.

CHEMICAL-IONOPHORE ANTICOCCIDIALS

The association of chemical and ionophore anticoccidial provide the positive characteristics of both categories. Ingredients are combined creating products in order to fill gaps in the coccidiosis prevention programmes, according to the birds’ life period or parasite life cycle. MNGrow^® is the association of the chemical active ingredient nicarbazin and the ionophore, maduramycin. It was developed as the appropriated product to be used after Lerbek^® and Robimpex^® cleaning programmes.
