Claims25
A method of enhancing the effectiveness of an ionophoric coccidiostat in reducing coccidial-induced intestinal lesions in poultry comprising administering to said poultry said ionophoric cocciodiostat and a zeolite, the weight ratio of said coccidiostat to said zeolite being from about 0.2 weight percent to about 15 weight percent, such that said ionophoric cocciodiostat and said zeolite coexist in said poultry.
A method of enhancing the effectiveness of a coccidiostat in reducing coccidial-induced pigmentation loss in poultry comprising administering to said poultry said cocciodiostat and a zeolite, the weight ratio of said coccidiostat to said zeolite being from about 0.2 weight percent to about 15 weight percent, such that said coccidiostat and said zeolite coexist in said poultry.
A composition comprising a zeolite and a coccidiostat wherein the ratio of said zeolite to said coccidiostat is in a weight ratio of said coccidiostat to said zeolite being from about 0.2 weight percent to about 15 weight percent and is effective to enhance the effectiveness of the coccidiostat in reducing coccidial-induced intestinal lesions in poultry.
A composition comprising a zeolite and a coccidiostat wherein the weight ratio of said coccidiostat to said zeolite is from about 0.2 weight percent to about 15 weight percent and is effective to enhance the reduction of coccidial-induced pigmentation loss in the shank of poultry.
