What is the "medication" in medicated Game Starter?

[Wolf-Kim]

Just what is the "medication" in Medicated Game Starter? We don't have any medicated Game Starter around here and I wish we did.

Can I medicate my own feed or would I be better off, mixing medicated chick starter into my gamebird starter?

Thanks

Amprolium

Can amprolium be bought and added to the food later?

Or would I be better off, just mixing in medicated chick starter to the gamebird starter.

Myself I would just mix in medicated chick starter.

Actually most game starters that are medicated are medicated with Bacitracin which is an antibiotic to help control ulcerative enteritis..The coccidiostats that are most common are Amprolium,Lasalocid and Decoquinate...And just want to add that none of these are toxic to baby ducks
