Prevention dose of corid for chicks

[U_Stormcrow]

Weird. The site is this: http://www.corid.com/sitecollectiondocuments/CORID Slim Jim-All.pdf

And coccidia are always present, everywhere humans have been. Aprolium (the active ingredient in CORID) is a thiamine antagonist - meaning it negatively impacts thiamine uptake, which results in the little coccidia already present in your chickens gut not being able to thrive - until your chicken's internal biome can get the little ____ back under control.

By the time your birds are adults, their bodies should be well practiced at keeping the coccidia inside them under wraps, so to speak - not absent, just not at clinically significant levels - unless they are under stress or there has been some other major change in the environment.

There are other chemicals effective in killing coccidia - much like you taking oral penicillin really wrecks the colonies of bacteria normally present in your gut - but coccidia are becoming increasingly immune to those treatments, while Amprolium's much simpler operation chemically hasn't resulted in the same sorts of widespread resistance (though research suggests there is some).

I tried opening it but AMAZON AGAIN ugh . So you are saying that giving medicated feed will not negatively impact them? I'm sorry I have to always ask after you explain I just want to make sure I'm right.

Yes, medicated feed is not a problem, assuming the medication is Amprolium

Okay thanks, what though would be the dose in The water of amprolium 9.6 percent. I want to use the grubbly Farms feed that we talked about in the other thread I made but also want them protected

I am wanting to add corid to the waters of my babies next time instead of using medicated feed. What is the prevention dose for babies? I know the adult dose is ½ teaspoon to 1 gallon water but it would be less for babies right?
PS don't all of you be asking me why I don't just use medicated chick starter. I have a certain brand I want and it's not medicated.

No. Dose for Corid in Poultry is the same regardless of age.
You've asked 2-3 times in this thread for dosing info and yet have yet to get an answer to that question.

I would not use "preventative" dose. Use the Outbreak dose.

You have 9.6% Corid (Liquid) which would be given at a rate of 2teaspoons per gallon of water for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
This is the dose you want to use. IF you feel you MUST give them Corid, then wait a week or so before you treat them.

Why keep the chicks inside that long, especially if weather is agreeable. Get them outdoors, at least to their grow out coop to the environment in which they will live so they can start to build resistance. Keep Corid on hand in case you need it.

You also have 3...threads concerning Coccidiosis, feed, sprays, etc etc. It's not that complicated imho. Sprays are vaccines used by hatcheries.
You will never make your birds "Immune" to Coccidia. They can build resistance to the strains found in their environment.

If you have a huge problem with Coccidiosis, then evaluate your keeping. Keep chicks on dry ground, keep their water and feed stations clean, expose them to dirt and soil, expose them to the poop of your existing flock. They build resistance, not immunity.

I usually keep them inside for 4.5-5 weeks then move them to the grow out coop till they are 18-20 weeks as I have quite a few big hens who would crush the Littles

On questions of poultry illness/injury where I and Wyorp Rock have made pronouncements? Go with whatever Wyorp Rock said.

Okay thanks I know I have made ALOT(4) of threads concerning this. It kinda got away from me. I have had to ask multiple times because Nobody had answered me now I now. I am just trying to gather as much information as possible on the subject. I am trying to make my mind between all the things I could do.
Thanks for the help

Too funny!

One would be wise to scrutinize information given regardless of who has pronounced it.

Why do you say "IF you feel you MUST give them Corid, then wait a week or so before you treat them."
I have had previous signs of coccidia in my older flock and just brought home a new batch of chicks, guessing they are 3 weeks old. I don't have them on medicated feed and have corid on hand.
Is it best to wait for signs in the chicks to treat them? They've been brood outside and outside the whole time. Just not sure if the previous ranch had coccidia cases previously

Give them ½ teaspoon in 1 gallon of water for 7-14 days for prevention. The treatment dose is 2 teaspoon in 1 gallon of water.
