T. Polner, FIELD EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE ANTICOC CIDIAL EFFECT OF DICLAZURILIN A LARGE-SCALE TURKEY FLOCK, Magyar allatorvosok lapja, 49(7), 1994, pp. 397-399
To investigate the anticoccidial effect of diclazuril (Clinacox premix
, Janssen Pharmaceut.), day-old turkey poults (9507 cocks and 9315 lay
ers) hatched from eggs of a Mycoplasma free parent flock were divided
into two groups. One of the groups received diclazuril (1 mg effective
substance/kg of feed, i.e. 200 g Clinacox premix/ton of feed) while t
he other received lasalocid-Na (100 mg effective substance/kg of feed)
up to the age of 84 days. The losses observed in both groups did not
exceed the usual grade (5.10 to 5.85 % in case of cocks and 2.70 to 2.
78% in case of layers), neither pathological changes of coccidiosis we
re observed. Body-mass at slaughtering of 117 and 121 days old layers,
as well as 139 and 153 days old cocks did not or hardly differed each
other in the groups fed with the two anticoccidial drugs (Table). Aft
er having received these favorable results, the control of coccidiosis
of 453 thousand day-old turkey poults was carried out with diclazuril
in the following year.
