Broiler producers are being encouraged to use a narasin-based coccidiosis control programme throughout the production cycle. Elanco's poultry technical consultant, Dr James Bishop, explains why uninterrupted use of narasin delivers welfare and production benefits.
To avoid the risks when changing anticoccidial programmes during the production cycle, Dr Bishop recommends sticking with narasin throughout.
He advises using Maxiban past the peak of coccidiosis challenge and finishing birds with Monteban.
Both products contain narasin, however Maxiban also contains nicarbazin and these two active ingredients work synergistically to effectively control coccidiosis during the peak challenge.
"In addition, the narasin allows leakage of sporozoites into the intestine, which enables birds to generate natural immunity to coccidiosis," adds Dr Bishop.
"This is crucial as the birds develop immunity to coccidia as they age, it also enables them to cope with any later challenges when they are at peak growth and performance to minimise the impact of coccidiosis on the bird."
He says a trial comparing Maxiban to a monensin/nicarbazin programme showed it delivers:
· 5.7% more feed efficiency
· 7.5% more growth
· 1.7% more breast meat
Nicarbazin is a coccidiostat used on meat chickens. It is also used as a contraceptive for population control of Canada geese and feral pigeons.
Nicarbazin is an anticoccidial belonging to carbanilide group. Nicarbazin is marketed as a coccidiostat for chickens for fattening up to an age of 28 days.
Nicarbazin is a carbanilide used for the prevention of faecal and intestinal coccidiosis in chickens, as well as in some other poultry species. Nicarbazin is registered as a feed additive or as a veterinary drug for use in feed in several countries in Europe, North and South Amerika, Africa and Asia.
