Nicarbazin (Nicoxin) is an equimolar complex of 4, 4'-Dinitrocarbanilide and 2-Hydroxy-4, 6-dimethylpyrimidine. A coccidiostat for poultry.

Gizzerosine 2HCl, a substance produced during the heat treatment of fishmeal, induces histopathological lesions in broiler chicks and increases intracellular cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate levels in isolated chickens of origin.

TMTD (Tetramethylthiuram disulfide) reduces the growth performance of chickens by reducing liver index, while increasing kidney, heart and spleen index. In addition, TMTD also induces tibial chondrodysplasia (TD) by regulating the expression of VEGF, HIF-1α and WNT4. As a super accelerator in rubber processing, TMTD plays an important role in the low-temperature vulcanization process and is a key pesticide in agriculture.

Buquinolate (Bonaid TM) is an anticoccidial agent used in poultry, and the medicated chickens can produce higher levels of egg production and gain weight. Buquinolate does not interfere with the formation of immunity against coccidia.

Avilamycin A is an antibiotic.1 It is active against veterinary isolates of C. perfringens (MICs = ≤0.06-0.5 mg/L) and B. hyodysenteriae (MICs = 12.5-100 μg/ml).1,2 Dietary administration of avilamycin A (15 and 30 ppm) reduces mortality in a broiler cockerel model of C. perfringens infection.3 Formulations containing avilamycin A have been used in the prevention of necrotic enteritis in livestock. |1.

Furaltadone L-tartrate (Altafur L-tartrate), a nitrofuran antimicrobial agent, is potentially useful for researching Salmonella enteritidis infections in chickens and demonstrates both inhibitory and bactericidal properties against Staphylococci in vitro.

Furaltadone is a nitrofuran drug that has the potential for the study in infections of chickens with salmonella enteritidis. Furaltadone has inhibitory and bactericidal effects on staphylococci in vitro [1] [2].

LH-RH II (chicken), a structural variant of mammalian luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) found in the hypothalamus of the domestic hen, exists as one of two forms of LHRH that enhance gonadotropin release in domestic chickens [1] [2].

Cationomycin is effective against Gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria, but it shows no activity against Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, or fungi. When added to feed at a concentration of 50 to 100 ppm, Cationomycin can effectively suppress coccidiosis in chickens.

Bursin, a peptide isolated from the bursa of Fabricius in chickens, induces phenotypic differentiation in B precursor cells in mammals and birds. Additionally, Bursin enhances cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels in the human B-cell line Daudi.
