The challenges of coccidiosis in poultry
Poultry coccidiosis is a constant and costly threat that:
> Different parasite species = peaks at different bird ages
> Late outbreaks can occur due to poor immunity
> A ubiquitous parasite
> Can survive in the environment for long periods2
> Broiler feed conversion rate (FCR): up to 10%3
> Weight gain: up to 7%3
> Intestinal Integrity (I2) scores4
> Mortality5
> Disease rates6-9
The impact of poor poultry coccidiosis control
costs up to £125.5 million in the UK and
£13 billion per annum worldwide10
Coccidiosis in poultry alone costs 4p per bird
due to the negative impact on Intestinal Integrity,
including broiler feed conversion ratios. Its association
with necrotic enteritis increases this to 7.8p per bird11,12
Don’t let poultry coccidiosis fly under the radar
Monitoring Intestinal Integrity scores via HTSi makes sure that poultry coccidiosis
is not quietly impacting the productivity of a flock over time.
Consistent and effective management of coccidiosis in poultry has big benefits, it can:
Want to achieve stable & continuous coccidiosis control?
Using Maxiban™ in combination with Monteban™ provides:
Lower labour requirements
Stable coccidial population control
- FCR improvements of 5.4616
- Stable intestinal integrity (I2) scores17
- Over 20 years of successful coccidiosis control for
poultry producers worldwide
Adding another layer of protection
CHOOSE THE TRUSTED SOLUTION THAT DELIVERS STABLE AND CONTINUOUS COCCIDIOSIS CONTROL
Learn how the active ingredients in Maxiban and Monteban effectively control coccidiosis
Narasin:
the ionophore of choice
Narasin is significantly more effective at reducing intestinal lesions than monensin, when administered at the same dose rate8
When potentiated with nicarbazin, narasin is more potent than monensin when included at equal rates23
Narasin = 71%
of original inclusion rate
Monensin = 42%
of original inclusion rate
Unlike other ionophores, narasin has a positive effect on feed intake, growth and FCR18-20
Maxiban has been shown to outperform a similar monensin/nicarbazin programme21
more feed efficacy
more growth
more breast meat
Uniquely among the ionophores, Narasin has a significant impact on reducing gizzard erosion24
Achieve continuous and stable coccidiosis control
by using Maxiban and Monteban continuously
No anorexic effect,
bird maintain feeds
intake18
Allows bird immunity to
develop, while still effectively
controlling disease
Using Maxiban for at least another 7 days past the peak coccidial challenge
improved FCR by up to 0.23 pts per day of extension22
➡ outperforming all other ionophore programmes
Maxiban and Monteban have been helping poultry producers
achieve effective coccidiosis control for over 20 years.
