Effective Coccidiosis Prevention with Salinomycin

Coccidiosis is a common and economically significant disease in poultry farming, particularly in broilers. It is caused by protozoa of the Eimeria species and can lead to intestinal damage, reduced feed conversion efficiency, poor weight gain, and increased mortality. Salinomycin premix is a widely used anticoccidial feed additive that helps control this disease effectively. It is available in 12% and 24% concentrations to suit different production needs.

What Is Salinomycin Premix?

Salinmycin is a polyether ionophore antibiotic used to prevent and control coccidiosis in poultry. It works by disrupting the ion transport in the membranes of coccidia, resulting in osmotic imbalance and cell death. The premix is typically added to poultry feed in granular form and is suitable for large-scale integration into commercial feed systems.

Benefits of Salinomycin in Poultry Feed

Salinomycin offers multiple advantages for poultry production, making it one of the most widely used anticoccidial agents in commercial farming:

Effective Coccidiosis Control – Targets multiple Eimeria species, helping to prevent intestinal damage and performance loss.

Improved Feed Efficiency – Reduces energy loss caused by parasite infection, allowing birds to convert feed into body weight more effectively.

Better Growth Performance – Supports healthy weight gain and uniform flock development.

Lower Mortality Rates – Protects birds during critical growth phases, especially in high-density farming conditions.

Consistent Flock Health – Maintains gut integrity, reducing the risk of secondary infections.

Cost-Effective Solution – Low inclusion rates provide reliable protection without significantly increasing feed costs.

This combination of disease control, productivity improvement, and economic efficiency makes salinomycin premix a valuable tool for poultry producers worldwide.

How to Use Salinomycin Premix Effectively

The recommended dosage depends on the concentration used:

1. Select the Appropriate Concentration

12% Salinomycin Premix: 50–70 g per ton of complete feed

24% Salinomycin Premix: 25–35 g per ton of complete feed

This provides 60–84 mg of active Salinomycin per kg of feed. The premix should be thoroughly mixed into the feed using a stepwise dilution method. Continuous use is advised during periods of high coccidiosis risk, especially in broilers.

2. Mix Thoroughly for Even Distribution

First, blend the premix with a small portion of feed to create a concentrated mix.

Then combine this concentrate with the remaining feed to ensure uniform dispersion and avoid uneven dosing.

3. Apply During Critical Growth Stages

Continuous use is recommended throughout the growth period of broilers, particularly from early life to near market age, when the risk of coccidiosis is highest.

4. Avoid Incompatible Additives

Do not mix with other ionophore anticoccidials in the same feed.

Check compatibility with the overall feed formula to prevent nutrient imbalance or reduced efficacy.

Following these steps helps maintain effective protection, promotes uniform growth, and reduces economic losses caused by coccidiosis.

Precautions for Safe Application

Not for use in laying hens producing eggs for human consumption

Observe a withdrawal period of at least five days before slaughter

Avoid combining with other ionophore antibiotics
