title: Efficacy of diclazuril against Eimeria dispersa in turkeys.
abstract: Diclazuril, a new anticoccidial drug, was tested for its efficacy against Eimeria dispersa in turkeys. A dose-titration study indicated that diclazuril at dosages of 0.5, 1, and 2 ppm in the feed was highly effective in terms of weight gain and suppression of lesions, abnormal droppings, and oocyst shedding.
