Diclazuril is a benzeneacetonitrile showing great promise as a broad-spectrum anticoccidial agent for chickens, turkeys, and rabbits.
The high anticoccidial activity of diclazuril in chickens, as first reported in dose-titration studies and battery trials, was confirmed in three floor-pen trials.
The efficacy was demonstrated against six major pathogenic species of Eimeria after artificial infection with one or more species.
