INTRODUCTION
Throughout the world coccidiosis is the most sig-
nificant disease for poultry producers. When con-
sidering treatment costs and lost performance, the
disease costs the industry an estimated 5 billion
dollars worldwide, making it the most expensive
disease affecting the poultry industry today. Tradi-
tionally, the poultry industry has relied heavily on
the use of anticoccidial medications to prevent or
to treat the disease.
Amprol
®
was approved in USA in 1960 as a feed
additive and is nowadays still of interest, due to its
safety and very good curing and preventing mode
of action against coccidiosis in poultry.
Amprol
®
25% is a feed additive which is used
for the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in
poultry, including broilers, replacements, layers,
turkeys and pheasants.
FEED ADDITIVES
Structure and activity
Amprol
®
25% is an anticoccidial feed additive to treat
and prevent any outbreak of coccidiosis. It is effec-
tive against all _Eimeria_ species in chickens such as: _E. _
_acervulina, Eimeria maxima, Eimeria tenella, Eimeria _
_brunetti, Eimeria praecox, Eimeria mitis_ and _ Eimeria _
_necatrix._ In turkeys it can be used to treat outbreaks
of coccidiosis with _Eimeria meleagrimitis, Eimeria ad-_
_enoeides, Eimeria gallopavonis_ and _ Eimeria melea-_
_gridis. _In pheasants it can be used for prevention of
_Eimeria colchici, Eimeria duodenalis_ and _Eimeria pha-_
_siani._
Mode of action
Amprolium, the active substance of Amprol
®
25%, is a
thiamine antagonist. The anticoccidial effect of Ampro-
lium is achieved by inhibiting the_ Eimeria spp. _to up-
take thiamine. The thiamine requirement for _Eimeria _
_spp._ is, compared to animals, relatively high and there-
fore Amprolium will cause starvation of the parasite
because of thiamine deficiency. As this way is unique,
Amprolium does not show cross-resistance with other
anticoccidial preparations.
Indications for use
