Robenidine HCL

Robenidine HCL

Robenidine HCL (Robenidine Hydrochloride) is a highly effective synthetic chemical coccidiostat belonging to the guanidine group, widely utilized in the poultry and rabbit industries. It is specifically engineered for the prevention and control of coccidiosis caused by various pathogenic Eimeria species (such as E. tenella, E. acervulina, and E. maxima). Unlike ionophore antibiotics, Robenidine works by inhibiting energy metabolism (oxidative phosphorylation) in the parasite, effectively halting its development. It is a critical tool in coccidial rotation programs and shuttle programs, helping to break the life cycle of parasites and prevent the development of drug resistance. Available primarily as a medicated feed premix, Robenidine HCL ensures consistent protection, improves feed conversion ratios (FCR), and supports optimal weight gain in broiler chickens and meat rabbits.

FAQ（Robenidine HCL）

1. What is Robenidine HCL used for?
It is primarily used as a preventive coccidiostat to control coccidiosis in broiler chickens, turkeys, and rabbits. It is highly effective against both intestinal and caecal forms of the disease.

2. How is Robenidine HCL administered?
It is exclusively administered orally by mixing it into finished animal feed (via a premix) to ensure continuous daily intake throughout the growing period.

3. Which animals can use Robenidine HCL?
It is extensively used for commercial poultry (broilers) and meat rabbits. It is not typically used for laying hens producing eggs for human consumption.

4. Is Robenidine HCL safe for livestock?
Yes, it is safe and effective when used at the correct dosage. However, a strict withdrawal period (usually 5–7 days) must be observed before slaughter to prevent meat tainting (an unpleasant taste or smell in the meat).

5. Can Robenidine HCL be used in rotation programs?
Yes, it is an essential component of anticoccidial rotation/shuttle programs, often alternated with ionophores or other chemical coccidiostats to maintain efficacy and prevent drug resistance in the flock.
