Treatment of Coccidiosis in Birds The treatment of coccidiosis will include drug administration to kill the parasites and oocysts, and measures to control transmission and re-infection. There are a range of anticoccidial drugs that can treat a coccidian invasion in many ways.


What antibiotics treat coccidiosis?

The most common drug used to treat coccidiosis is a sulfa-class antibiotic, sulfadimethoxine. It is typically administered for 5-20 days. Some formulations of this medication are pleasant-tasting and most cats will readily accept them. If the sulfa drug is not effective, other treatments are available.

How do you treat coccidiosis naturally?

Numerous plant-based products have been found to be effective at treating chicken coccidiosis: Artemisia annua and artemisinin [10, 11], oregano [12], garlic [13], neem [14], different species of Aloe [15], green tea [16], sugar cane [17], turmeric [18] and many others [9, 19,20,21].

How do birds get coccidiosis?

Coccidia are spread through the feces of infected birds. If feces are in the bedding, they're on the birds' feathers. And if feces are on the feathers, the birds will ingest them while preening (using their beaks to clean themselves). Replace wet bedding around waterers and add bedding to any problem spots.

What are the symptoms of coccidiosis in birds?

Signs of coccidiosis range from decreased growth rate to a high percentage of visibly sick birds, severe diarrhea, and high mortality. Feed and water consumption are depressed. Weight loss, development of culls, decreased egg production, and increased mortality may accompany outbreaks.
