What Is It For?

Prevents coccidiosis in broilers

How Effective Is It?
  • Broad-spectrum nonantibiotic; kills coccidia in the early stage of development1,2
  • Helps improve flock performance by preventing losses from coccidiosis when used during one cycle each year3
  • Component of anticoccidial rotation programs1,2
  • Deccox® is an alternative coccidiosis management tool for producers wishing to limit ionophore use, which has been associated with gangrenous dermatitis in broilers4
How Does It Work?
  • Synthetic anticoccidial developed specifically for coccidiosis prevention in broiler chickens
  • Broad-spectrum nonantibiotic; kills coccidia early in the stage of development1,2
  • Helps improve flock performance by preventing losses from coccidiosis when used during one cycle each year3
  • Deccox is an alternative coccidiosis management tool for producers wishing to limit ionophore use, which has been associated with gangrenous dermatitis in broilers4
