Based on the following RG link it has been concluded that coccidiosis may not be controlled or treated with the use of only one compound, but it requires the combination of immunostimulators that induce a good response in bird and herbal extracts, essential oils, and other natural compounds that can destroy Eimeria spp. oocysts or interfere with the life cycle. So, avian coccidiosis control demands many shared efforts that with the advancement of omics technologies will certainly open new lines of investigation.

Hi Dr Morka Amante . Amprolium, which blocks the parasite's ability to uptake and multiply. Treatment is usually administered by adding Amprolium to the chickens' water supply, however in some cases, where sick chickens aren't eating or drinking enough, the medication is given orally..

Also, Diclazuril and toltrazuril are highly effective against a broad spectrum of coccidia. Diclazuril is used mostly for prevention at 1 ppm in the feed, whereas toltrazuril is used primarily for treatment in the water.

Sulfadimidine + diaviridine + vitamin K: The combination of sulfadidine with sulfadimidine gives a stronger efficacy of the sulfa compound against coccidiosis. The presence of vitamin K contributes to reducing the bleeding caused by coccidiosis, which causes intestinal bleeding. And treatment can be for three days, then rest for 2 days, and then repeat the treatment for 2 days (3 treatments - 2 rest - 2 treatments).
Toltrazuril, ADEK, Electrolytes are first choice that immediately effect.
The most important step in treatment and control of coccidosis is the follow health procedures on the farm, especially hygiene and keeping the litter dry, in addition to the use of some drugs and on top of them Toltazuril and Diclazuril, beside to vit K and antibiotic for secondary bacterial infection
