Thiamine analog that competitively inhibits thiamine uptake by coccidia, interfering with carbohydrate metabolism of the parasite.
Prolonged use may cause thiamine deficiency (polioencephalomalacia). Primarily coccidiostatic, not coccidiocidal. Ensure adequate thiamine intake.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for chicken may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Amprolium pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in chicken — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
