Description

Clopidol CAS NO 2971-90-6 is a synthetic chemical compound belonging to the class of coccidiostats, primarily used in veterinary medicine. It is valued for its efficacy in preventing and controlling coccidial infections in poultry and other livestock, which is critical for maintaining animal health and productivity in intensive farming operations. This product is essential for manufacturers of veterinary pharmaceuticals and premixes serving the global animal husbandry and feed additive industries.

Application

• Veterinary Anticoccidial Agent: Primary use as a feed additive for the prevention and control of coccidiosis in poultry, including broilers, layers, and turkeys.
• Livestock Health Management: Used in medicated feeds for calves, lambs, and other young ruminants susceptible to coccidial infections.
• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Formulation: Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the production of anticoccidial drugs, tablets, and soluble powders.
• Feed Premix Production: Key component in the manufacturing of nutritional and medicinal premixes for the animal feed industry.
• Aquaculture Applications: Investigated for use in controlling parasitic infections in certain farmed fish species.
• Companion Animal Care: Potential ingredient in treatments for coccidiosis in rabbits and other small pets.
