Stable & continuous coccidiosis control in poultry is key to avoiding the damaging effects to productivity
Saves up to 6% feed and 6% water1
Reduces antibiotic usage by up to 5x2,3
Reduces the rate of secondary diseases such as necrotic enteritis4
Results in drier litter and less associated diseases (e.g. breast blister, pododermatitis and hock burn)5-7

Using Maxiban™ in combination with Monteban™ provides continuous and stable coccidiosis control:

- Lower labour requirements
- Stable coccidial population control

- FCR improvements of 5.468
- Stable intestinal integrity (I2) scores9
- Over 20 years of successful coccidiosis control for
poultry producers worldwide

- Another layer of protection
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 rate6
When potentiated with nicarbazin, narasin is more potent than monensin when included at equal rates10
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 FCR12-14
Maxiban has been shown to outperform a similar monensin/nicarbazin programme11
- more feed efficacy
- more growth
- more breast meat
Uniquely among the ionophores, Narasin has a significant impact on reducing gizzard erosion15
Achieve stable coccidiosis control by using Maxiban and Monteban continuously

Low anorexic effect,
bird maintain feeds
intake12
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 extension16
➡ outperforming all other ionophore programmes
Maxiban and Monteban have been helping poultry producers
achieve effective coccidiosis control for over 20 years.
But what about other coccidiosis solutions?
