Abstract:

Extract: The application of sulphaquinoxaline to laying pullets in a number of outbreaks of intestinal coccidiosis and pasteurellosis was reported to be attended by a concomitant drop in water and food consumption and depression of egg yield. In view of the apparent value of this drug in treating the troublesome type of chronic coccidiosis commonly found in laying pullets in New Zealand, these side effects would have constituted a serious drawback and a positive deterrent to recommending its use in outbreaks in the field.
