According to FutureWise analysis, the market for Anticoccidial Drugs is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.30% over the forecast period of 2023-2031.
Anticoccidial drugs are widely used as additives in feed and as veterinary drugs for the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis in poultry and other animals. The agents that destroy the coccidial population are termed coccidiocidal, and agents that prevent the replication and growth of the coccidial population are known as coccidiostatic. These drugs target specific phases of the development of the parasite to prevent clinical and subclinical disease from occurring. The economic harm caused by coccidiosis in modern poultry production is so severe that almost all poultry farms have resorted to providing anticoccidial drugs as a feed supplement to pullets and broiler breeders from 12 to 16 weeks and to broiler chickens for almost entire lives.
Ionophores are the fermentation products of Streptomyces and other fungi species, extensively used as anticoccidials. Monensin, Lasalocid, and Salinomycin are the Ionophores that are used commercially, and monensin is the choice of product for broiler chickens mainly because of its broad spectrum activity against a majority of pathogenic species of coccidian and lack of development of drug resistance. Ionophores enable the transport of Na+ ions in cells and promote the intracellular concentration of Na+ ions. This increased concentration of Na+ ions inhibits certain mitochondrial functions, such as substrate oxidation and ATP hydrolysis. Intracellular Na+ ion exchanges for extracellular Ca++ and improved intracellular concentration of calcium ions lead to cytotoxicity. In addition, some drugs directly facilitate Ca++ transport in cells, and increased intracellular concentrations of Ca++ in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells are responsible for its toxic effects in cells.
