Composition:

Each 1 kg contains:
Decoquinate 60 gm

Properties:

Decoquinate is a 4-hydroxyquinoline antiprotozoal compound active against Eimeria spp. and Toxoplasma spp. It inhibits the development of coccidia in the small intestine in the early part of the infective cycle, resulting in lower morbidity and mortality. The exact mode of action is unknown. The drug is administered by the oral route, the main site of action being within the gastro-intestinal tract. It is poorly absorbed by the target species and is largely eliminated in faeces.

Indications:

• Broiler chickens: It is used for prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella, E.necatrix, E.acervulline, E.mivati, E.maxima and E.brunetti.
• Lambs: It is used for treatment and Prevention Coccidiosis caused by E.crandallis and E.ovinoidolis .
• Calves: It is used for treatment and Prevention Coccidiosis caused by E.zuernii, E. bovis, and E. auburnensis.

Target Species:

Broiler chickens – Calves – Lambs.

Dosage & route of administration:

• Prevention of coccidiosis in Broiler chickens:
500 g of product/ton feed. Feed continuously from day-old to slaughter. (0.5 gm/kg.feed).
• Treatment of coccidiosis in lambs and calves and prevention of coccidiosis in lambs:
166 gm of product / ton feed. Feed daily to at least 28 days. (0.17 gm / kg feed)
• Prevention of coccidiosis in calves:
83.33 gm of product / ton feed. Feed daily to at least 28 days (0.083 gm / kg feed)
-Feed intake will depend on the clinical situation of the animal and on the season of the year. To ensure a correct dose, the concentration of active ingredient in the feed must be adjusted according daily feed intake.

Warnings:

• The use of the product will maintain normal growth under conditions of coccidial challenge but does not improve growth of healthy lambs or calves.

Precuations:

Special precautions for use:
• To help obtain even distribution in the final feed, it is recommended first to mix thoroughly at the rate of1part of the product to 3 parts of feed before blending into the final mix.
• In the preparation of pelleted feed, preconditioning temperatures of up to 80°C for short periods have been used and shown to have no effect on the product.
• A manufacturer authorized to incorporate at levels below 2 kg per ton must be responsible for mixing when incorporation is less than 2 kg per ton of final feed
• Should not be mixed with rations containing bentonite. Bentonite is a type of clay that is used as a compacting and dispersing agent in some feeds. This Is not because bentonite interferes with the activity of Product in the feed, but because it interferes with the assay method. Simply put, samples of feed containing. bentonite and Conadeqtiros would not assay properly. Therefore, feed formulations containing bentonite should be avoided.
