From the Institute of Animal Health: Coccidiosis is the name given to a group of closely related diseases caused by a single-celled (protozoan) parasite called Eimeria. Eimeria species develop inside cells lining the intestine. As the parasites reproduce they cause bleeding and massive swelling of the gut. This leads to a huge loss of liquid and the bird is unable to absorb the nutrients from its food. Many birds may die as a consequence.

This veterinary medicine is marketed in accordance with the Small Animal Exemption Scheme which covers small domestic pets/birds not intended for food use. As such, we are unable to advise on its use for other animals such as chickens as we don’t hold the relevant qualification to prescribe medicine for animals. To do so would be a breach of VMD rules.
