Amprolium is a coccidiostat (antiprotozoal) used for the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in calves, sheep, goats, chickens (broilers and breeders) and other fowl such as turkeys, with activity against Eimeria spp., especially Eimeria tenella and Eimeria necatrix. It is a thiamine (vitamin B1) analogue and its pharmacological effect relies on competitive inhibition of thiamine uptake. Amprolium competitively inhibits the active transport of thiamine in isolated second-generation schizonts of Eimeria spp. and in host intestinal cells. Upon ingestion of amprolium, the coccidia experience thiamine deficiency and starve from malnutrition.
Indications
Amprolium 20% Oral is a concentrated liquid containing amprolium, to be used in drinking water of poultry, calves, lambs, young goats, cattle and sheep. It is used as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent against Eimeria infections in poultry, especially E. tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina and E. praecox. It is effective against other protozoal infections like Histomoniasis (Blackhead) in turkeys and poultry; against coccidiosis in calves, sheep, goats and pigs; against amoebiasis in various species.

- #1 COCCIDIOSTAT & PINWORM MEDICINE: An effective chicken and goat dewormer, Amprolium for Chickens should be used on a group, pen or herd basis. When one or more goats show clinical signs of coccidiosis, it’s likely the rest of the group has been exposed to coccidia and all goats in the group, pen or herd should receive coccidiosis treatment. Corid for poultry has been tested at many times the recommended dose levels and has a wide safety margin.
- COCCIDIA FAST—FACTS: Coccidia are obligate intracellular parasites and must return to the host to continue their life cycle. The coccidia life cycle is a continuous process, with reinfection occurring daily. Cattle routinely ingest thousands of oocysts each day through feces, contaminated feed and water, or by preening their own coat or licking that of another animal. As few as 50 thousand oocysts can cause severe disease in the calf. Immunity can develop after extended subclinical infection.
