Nothing makes your stomach drop quite like walking into the brooder and realizing one of your chicks just isn't acting right.
Coccidiosis can hit young birds hard, and when you're dealing with a sick chick, waiting several days for supplies to arrive isn't exactly Plan A. CORID® 9.6% Oral Solution contains amprolium and is commonly used by poultry keepers for the treatment of coccidiosis in chickens.
The liquid concentrate is administered through drinking water, making it practical when multiple birds need access to treated water.
This is one of those chicken-health products you would much rather have sitting unopened in the medicine cabinet than realize you need at 9 p.m. on a Sunday.
Coccidiosis is especially common in young chickens, although birds of any age can be affected. Symptoms can overlap with other poultry illnesses, so a fecal examination and veterinary guidance can help confirm what you're actually dealing with before treatment begins.
Amprolium 9.6%
CORID® is a concentrated amprolium oral solution. Always use the correct directions for the species being treated and do not guess at concentrations or dosing.
CORID® 9.6% Oral Solution is a concentrated product that must be properly diluted before use.
For chickens, use veterinary guidance or established poultry-specific amprolium directions for the appropriate concentration and treatment period. Prepare fresh medicated drinking water as directed and keep waterers clean throughout treatment.
If birds are severely lethargic, dehydrated, not drinking, passing bloody droppings, or continuing to decline, contact a poultry veterinarian. Birds that aren't drinking normally may not receive an adequate amount of medication through treated water.
And because several chicken illnesses can produce similar symptoms, don't assume every droopy chick has coccidiosis just because CORID® happens to be sitting in the cabinet.
CORID® 9.6% Oral Solution cannot be shipped to California addresses.
