A Tool From Elanco to Prevent Coccidiosis in Chickens and Turkeys
Coccidiosis is one of the most prevalent and expensive diseases affecting the poultry industry. Investing in coccidiosis treatment for chickens and turkeys is critical to maintaining a thriving flock, especially No Antibiotic Ever (NAE) operations which have limited cocci-control options.
ZoaShield’s mode of action lowers the risk of resistance development. That, along with no withdrawal period or season restrictions, makes ZoaShield a flexible option that can be used in multiple cycles.
Use ZoaShield following a strong chemical like Clinacox to maintain improved intestinal integrity and positively impact flock performance.
ZoaShield does not reduce the bird's tolerance to heat in warmer months allowing it to be used any time of the year.
As an Elanco customer, you’ll receive consultative support from a team of experts with extensive industry experience and knowledge who help tailor solutions to meet your bird health and business goals.

Usage Information
The label contains complete use information, including cautions and warnings. Always read, understand and follow the label and use directions.
ZoaShield Directions for Use:
Indications
For use in preparation of feeds for chickens and turkeys only. Livestock remedy.
- Broiler Chickens: For prevention and control of coccidiosis.
- Replacement Chickens: For development of active immunity to coccidiosis.
- Growing Turkeys: For prevention and control of coccidiosis.
Directions
It is suggested that a mixture of ZoaShield and some feed ingredient be prepared prior to mixing in with the finished ration. This will ensure thorough and even distribution in the feed.
For chickens grown for meat purposes:
Use 1 lb. (454 g) of ZoaShield per 2,000 lb. (909 kg) of finished product to produce a feed containing 0.0125% zoalene. Feed containing zoalene should be fed continuously as the only ration from the time chicks are placed in floor pens until they are slaughtered for meat.
For replacement chickens:
When used under conditions of exposure to coccidiosis, zoalene will allow immunity to develop adequately to protect against losses due to the disease when the birds are placed on non-medicated feed for egg laying purposes. The following chart outlines the type of feeding program to follow where completely formulated feed is the sole ration:
For turkeys grown for meat purposes only:
When turkey poults are reared in confinement and severe exposure to coccidiosis is usually a problem, use 1½ lb. (681 g) of ZoaShield per ton (2,000 lb.) of feed to produce a finished feed containing 0.0187% zoalene. Under the usual conditions of rearing turkey poults, or when turkey poults are on range, use 1 lb. (454 g) of ZoaShield per 2,000 lb. (909 kg) of feed to produce a finished feed containing 0.0125% zoalene. The feed containing zoalene should be fed continuously until the birds are 14 to 16 weeks of age.
Cautions
Not to be fed to laying birds.
Consult a veterinarian or poultry pathologist if losses exceed 0.5% in a two-day period.
Clinacox Directions for use:
Broiler Chickens: For the prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina,
E. brunetti, E. mitis (mivati) and E. maxima.
Because diclazuril is effective against E. maxima later in its life cycle, subclinical intestinal lesions may be present for a short time after infection. Diclazuril was shown in studies to reduce lesion scores and improve performance and health of birds challenged with E. maxima.
Growing Turkeys: For the prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria adenoeides, E. gallopavonis and E. meleagrimitis.
To manufacture a Type C medicated feed directly from the Type A medicated article: Thoroughly mix one pound (1 lb) of CLINACOX (0.2% diclazuril) into each ton of complete feed to provide 0.91 g/ton (1 ppm) of diclazuril (use level). It is recommended that an intermediate mix containing one part Clinacox and not less than nine parts appropriate feed ingredient be thoroughly mixed before incorporation into the final feed.
To manufacture a Type B medicated feed and then a Type C medicated feed: Thoroughly mix 200 lbs of Clinacox (0.2% diclazuril) with 1800 lbs unmedicated feed to produce 2000 lbs of Type B medicated feed containing 182 g/ton (200 ppm) diclazuril. Thoroughly mix 10 lbs of the resulting Type B medicated feed with 1990 lbs of unmedicated feed to produce 2000 lbs of Type C medicated feed containing 0.91 g/ton (1 ppm) diclazuril.
The resulting Type C medicated feed should be fed continuously as the sole ration.
CAUTION:
Do not feed to breeding turkeys.
No withdrawal period is required when used according to labeling. Do not feed to birds producing eggs for human consumption.
