Amprol 128 is the same as Corid. Dosage is 1 to 1 1/2 tsp of powder per 1 gallon of water, and you can mix smaller quantities each day. Give for 5-7 days, and when finished give vitamins and probiotics for 1 week.

Most people now recommend 1 to 1 1/2 tespoonsful per gallon now. Some older posts use the 1/2 tsp dose. I usually recommend the liquid Corid because the dosage is always 2 tsp/gallon, but the powder is easier to find.

I'll have to call my local feed store, see if they have the liquid Corid, if for nothing else then peace of mind!

I missed this Part : What Is ~~ coccidiostat ?

A cocciostat is a medication put into some chicken feed (usually chick starter feed), or sold on its own as liquid or powder. Its purpose in feed is to help prevent coccidiosis, and its purpose as its own is to help treat coccidiosis. Coccidiostats are not antibiotics; instead, (at least I know Corid works this way), they work by depriving coccidia of certain vitamins and killing them that way.

"USE DIRECTIONS: Give amprolium at the 0.012% level (10 oz AMPROL 128 20% Soluble Powder per 128 gallons) as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for three to five days. (In severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024% level.) Continue with 0.006% amprolium medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks. No other source of drinking water should be available to the birds during this time."​

The .006% for Amprol Powder is 1/3 teaspoon.
The .006% for Corid liquid is 1/2 teaspoon.

The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Amprol Powder is 3/4 teaspoon.
The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid liquid is 1 teaspoon.

The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Amprol Powder is 1.5 teaspoons
The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid liquid is 2 teaspoon.


1/2 teaspoon of 20% powder = 2.8125ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 270mg of amprolium.
3/4 teaspoon of 20% powder = 4.21875ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 405mg of amprolium.
1 teaspoon of 20% powder = 5.625ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 540mg of amprolium.
1.5 teaspoons of 20% powder =8.4375ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 810mg of amprolium.
1.75 teaspoons of 20% powder = 9.84375ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 945mg of amprolium.
2 teaspoons of 20% powder = 11.25ml of 9.6% liquid - Both have 1080mg of amprolium.
