Amprolium HCl is a veterinary medication used to prevent and treat coccidiosis, a parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the Eimeria species in poultry and livestock. It works by interfering with the parasite's ability to absorb thiamine (vitamin B1), which is essential for its survival. Amprolium is commonly administered through feed or drinking water and is widely used in the poultry industry to maintain flock health and productivity.

Industrial Uses

1. Animal Healthcare 

  • Anticoccidial agent: Controls and kills Eimeria parasites responsible for coccidiosis in livestock and poultry.
  • Disease prevention and treatment: Used both to prevent outbreaks and to treat infected animals, reducing morbidity and mortality.
  • Gut health protector: Maintains intestinal integrity by limiting protozoal damage, improving nutrient absorption.
  • Mortality reducer: Decreases death rates caused by protozoal infections, improving overall herd/flock survival.
  • Medicated feed additive: Incorporated into feed to provide continuous anticoccidial protection during animal growth.
  • Growth performance enhancer: By preventing disease, it supports better weight gain and feed conversion efficiency.
  • Gut microflora stabilizer: Helps maintain a healthy balance of gut microorganisms by controlling pathogenic protozoa.
  • Disease prevention in feed: Reduces incidence of protozoal infections, minimizing disease outbreaks linked to poor feed quality or hygiene.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API): The core chemical used in veterinary anticoccidial drug products.
  • Component in oral/veterinary formulations: Formulated into powders, solutions, and boluses for oral administration.
  • Combination drug ingredient: Often combined with other drugs (e.g., sulfa drugs) to enhance efficacy and broaden action.
  • Dosage form base: Provides the essential therapeutic action in various veterinary medicinal products.

3. Agrochemicals

  • Biosecurity enhancer: Part of farm management protocols to reduce protozoal disease spread.
  • Disease outbreak minimizer: Limits large-scale coccidiosis outbreaks that can devastate flocks or herds.
  • Productivity booster: Healthy animals perform better, yielding more meat, milk, or eggs.
  • Economic loss reducer: Decreases financial losses related to treatment, mortality,
