Introduction:
Decoquinate is a feed additive intended for the control of coccidiosis, a debilitating protozoal infection in poultry. The active agent is 4-hydroxyquinoline, incorporated at 0.6 % by weight in the feed additive. Evidence generated at the time of its introduction suggested that a product delivering 20-40 mg of decoquinate per kg complete feed was effective as a coccidiostat for chickens. However, a full assessment of the present day efficacy was not possible as an insufficient number of trials had been carried out in the last ten or so years, reflecting current production.
