Egg reuse

[Driley62]

Hello,

Currently treating my flock for coccidiosis and I read somewhere to not consume the eggs. What can I do to reuse the eggs without them going to waste. Currently using 9.6% liquid CORID.

Thanks all

There is not much you can do except feed them back to the hens

Corid is Amprolum. In the U.S. there is no withdrawal period for Amprolium. So you don't wouldn't have to throw away eggs.

This is not a good idea - you need to know about the medication being used. IF one were administering a medication to their chicken(s)/flock and there was a withdrawal (throwaway) period - this mean discard/throw away the eggs. Feeding back would extend the withdrawal period.

Not saying you're incorrect on the no withdrawal period. I've honestly gotten mixed messages weather the eggs need to be discarded or not. I guess in my case I'm being cautious and tossing them anyway. I wish I could find the amprolum dosing thread someone posted. I very quickly read it over as I found the dumbed down dosing chart for guys that aren't mathematicians like myself lol. But I didn't look for any withdrawal info.

I just found a web site that said there isn't a withdrawal time. I guess it's just me being overly cautious and not knowing if the people that get my eggs would prefer them to not being medicated or not. I'd imagine they won't care but I do know some people out there would snub up their nose immediately.

It's always best to do your own research and not rely on someone else.

Here's some reading for you. The link takes you to the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (FARAD) Digest. This one is about Egg Residues and includes Amprolium. This way you can come to your own conclusions.

There's a saying..."When in doubt, throw it out". So if you are hesitant to use/eat eggs when medicating your birds and are not wanting to use them, then throw the eggs in the trash. Don't feed them back to the birds, give them to the dog or anything else. They go in the trash.
