Coccidiostatics

Poolcox 40%

Pulcox 40% belongs to the group of polyester ionophore antibiotics.

Monensin sodium, which is part of the drug, has a wide spectrum of coccidiostatic action, is active against all types of coccidia (eimeria) that parasitize birds, including E necatrix, E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E mivati, E. praecox, E. gallopavonis, E. meleagrimitis, E. adenoids, E. dispersa. The mechanism of action of monensin is associated with a violation of the transfer of sodium and potassium cations in immature forms of coccidia, which leads to their death at the stage of schizogony. With oral administration of Pulkox C 20% and 40%, monensin is practically not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and exerts its effect on the mucous and submucosal membranes. It is excreted from the body of birds, mainly unchanged with droppings.

Pulkoks 40% is prescribed for the prevention of coccidiosis in broiler chickens, replacement chickens and turkeys.
