Presentation

Description

Toltrazuril is a triazinetrione derivative which is used for the prevention and treatment of Coccidiosis in poultry and turkeys. Light and electron microscope studies show that Toltrazuril is active against all intracellular stages of coccidia, including schizonts, micro and macrogamonts. It interferes with the division of the protozoal nucleus, the activity of the mitochondria and damages the wall forming bodies in the microgametes. That’s why Toltrazuril shows coccidicidal rather than coccidiostatic action. Tottrazuril acts on all intracellular development stages, does not inhibit immunity development, no need follow up treatment, Toltrazuril activity depends on severity of infection, compatible with feed additives and feed medication and has no adverse effects on feed and water intake, weight gain and F.C.R.
