Amprolium 30%
Water-soluble powder for oral administration
Specification
Amprolium hydrochloride has broad-spectrum anticoccidial activity.
The agent is effective against E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. necatrix,
E. maxima, E. mivati, E. brunetty and other Coccidia affecting poultry.
The anticoccidial activity of Amprolium 30% can be explained by
its similar chemical structure with thiamine (vitamin B1
). Amprolium
inhibits carbohydrate metabolism in parasites, which causes their
paralysis and death. The cell membrane of the intestinal mucosa of
poultry and mammals is hardly permeable to Amprolium 30%, it
makes the drug practically non-toxic in the therapeutic doses.
97% of Amprolium 30% are excreted in the feces.
Indications
The drug is used for treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in broiler chickens, replacement chickens and breeding flocks.
