12) Pharmacological action: the drug acts on the early agamogenesis phase of coccidian. It arrests the propagation of coccidian spores through interfering DNA synthesis when the drug enters into the spores. Therefore, decoquinate can avoid the
damage of coccidiosis from the early developmental stage of coccidian in chickens.
The drug can be absorbed quickly and reach the effective concentration in 1 hour. The trials showed that decoquinate is a high-active coccidiostat with an
anti-coccidiosis index of above 180
