title: Lerbek, a synergistic mixture of methyl benzoquate and clopidol for the prevention of chicken coccidiosis.
abstract: Methyl benzoquate at 20 ppm or clopidol at 250 ppm in the diet show true coccidiostatic activity in infections with Eimeria tenella in the chick. Lerbek, a synergistic mixture yielding 8-35 ppm methyl benzoquate and 100 ppm clopidol, produced a partially coccidiocidal effect; relapses following restricted periods of medication were less severe, and suppression of parasite development following delayed medication was quicker and more effective with either component of the mixture used alone.
