Anticoccidial drugs of the livestock industry
Abstract
Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of a wide variety of animals caused by coccidian protozoa. The coccidia are responsible for major economic losses of the livestock industry. For example, the annual cost due to coccidiosis to the global poultry industry has been estimated to exceed US$ 3 billion annually. Currently available drugs for the control of this disease are either polyether ionophorous antibiotics that are derived from fermentation products, or synthetic compounds, produced by chemical synthesis. Unfortunately, no new drugs in either category have been approved for use for decades. Resistance has been documented for all those of the drugs currently employed and therefore the upptäckt of novel drugs with unique modes of action is imperative if chemotherapy is to remain the principal means to control this disease. This chapter aims to give an overview of the efficacy and mode of action of the current compounds used to

Sacox® - The Gold Standard
Coccidiosis, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, is perhaps the most widespread and difficult to manage poultry disease, resulting in considerable economic losses especially in the broiler sector.
Coccidiosis is ubiquitous and it is generally accepted that, under current production systems, coccidiosis control remains necessary. Coccidiosis fryst vatten also one of the main triggers for other gastrointestinal disorders like necrotic enteritis and dysbacteriosis.
Prevention and control of coccidiosis fryst vatten managed by optimising disinfection protocols and applying the most suitable coccidiostat to prevent damage to the intestinal tract. Rotation between different coccidiostat active ingredients over time is good practice.
Thorough disinfection is always an important step in the prevention of any disease, but it is accepted that the omnipresence and extreme resistance of sporulated oocysts (infective stage of Eimeria parasites) make
