Polyether ionophore that disrupts ion transport across coccidian cell membranes, causing osmotic imbalance and parasite death.
HIGHLY TOXIC to horses, dogs, and cats. Use only in approved species (poultry, cattle). Narrow safety margin. Do not mix feeds.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for sheep may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Lasalocid pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in sheep — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
