UK Cocci advice

[JHCleeve]

Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone in the UK can recommend a Coccidiosis treatment suitable for quail?

I went to my feed store and they only had medicated chick feed (I want to treat my adult birds) or Megacox racing pigeon treatment which they thought might not be suitable.

If anyone else has used Megacox / Easicox, how long did you dispose of the eggs for following treatment? As they are marketed for racing pigeons there is no mention in the product literature.

thanks in advance!

hello @JHCleeve
this doesn't mention quail specifically but does all other poultry, and recommends Coxoid, also a pigeon product
https://www.nadis.org.uk/disease-a-...rmyard-poultry/part-3-control-of-coccidiosis/
it adds that "This contains amprolium which used to be licensed for chickens and has proved to be safe."
