Toltrazuril

Toltrazuril

Toltrazuril is a potent antiprotozoal agent belonging to the triazinetrione group, specifically designed for the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis. It acts effectively against all intracellular developmental stages of coccidia (Eimeria and Isospora species) in poultry, pigs, cattle, and sheep. Toltrazuril offers a distinct advantage with its coccidiocidal mode of action, damaging the mitochondria of the parasites and ensuring effective control—often with a single treatment or a short course. Available primarily as oral suspensions or solutions, it is easy to administer via drinking water or oral drenching. By controlling coccidiosis, it significantly protects intestinal health, ensures optimal growth rates, and minimizes economic losses in livestock production.
