Diclazuril is a benzeneacetonitrile showing great promise as a broad-spectrum anticoccidial agent for chickens, turkeys, and rabbits. The high anticoccidial activity of diclazuril in chickens, as first reported in dose-titration studies and battery trials, was confirmed in three floor-pen trials. The efficacy was demonstrated against six major pathogenic species of Eimeria after artificial infection with one or more species. The experimental data indicated that diclazuril, at dose levels of .5, .75, 1, and 2 ppm, had a high anticoccidial activity in terms of preventing mortality, suppressing or reducing lesion scores, and allowing for normal weight gains as well as productivity. The performances obtained with diclazuril was generally comparable with that of salinomycin at 60 ppm and that of lasalocid at 90 ppm.
