Polyether ionophore antibiotic that disrupts cation transport across coccidia cell membranes. Also has some growth-promoting effects via modification of rumen fermentation.
TOXIC to horses. For use in broiler chickens only (not layers or turkeys). Do not combine with tiamulin. Do not feed to other species.
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? Narasin 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.
