Decoquinate is a highly effective quinolone anticoccidial agent used for livestock and poultry. It prevents coccidiosis by interfering with DNA synthesis in the early stages of coccidia life cycle. The compound is well-tolerated with low toxicity and is used as a feed additive (27.2g in 1t feed) to prevent broiler coccidiosis.

Applications include:

- Prevention of coccidiosis in broilers caused by various Eimeria species - Control of coccidiosis in cattle and sheep - Improvement of weight growth rate and milk yield in young goats - Potential use in dogs for prophylactic treatment of coccidiosis and hepatozoonosis relapse

Decoquinate is rapidly absorbed, reaching effective concentrations within 1 hour and peak levels after 3 days. It is partially metabolized and primarily excreted in manure, with a withdrawal period of 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions about Decoquinate

Q: What is the recommended dosage of Decoquinate for poultry?

A: The recommended dosage of Decoquinate as a feed additive for poultry is 27.2g per 1 ton of feed to prevent broiler coccidiosis.

Q: How long can Decoquinate be used continuously?

A: It is recommended to use Decoquinate continuously for no more than 4 weeks to avoid potential drug resistance. It should be applied only during the peak period of coccidia.

Q: Is Decoquinate safe for livestock?

A: Yes, Decoquinate is well-tolerated with low toxicity. Studies have shown that dosages up to 80 times the recommended amount are still safe for poultry and pigs.

Q: How does Decoquinate work against coccidiosis?

A: Decoquinate prevents coccidiosis by interfering with DNA synthesis in the early stages of the coccidia life cycle, effectively preventing intestinal damage caused by coccidia.

Q: Can Decoquinate be combined with other drugs?

A: Yes, Decoquinate can be combined with other drugs to improve anti-coccidial effects and reduce drug resistance. Common combinations include Decoquinate with diclazuril, maduramicin, or sodium sulfaquinoxaline, depending on the stage of coccidiosis.
