CORID Products

Nothing else works like CORID®(amprolium) against coccidiosis.
  • CORID is the first and only coccidiostat labeled for use as both a preventive and treatment therapy.


  • Only CORID is formulated for use as a true solution in drinking water or as a drench.


  • CORID has a unique mode of action.

How CORID works
Structurally, CORID mimics thiamin (Vitamin B1) which is required by coccidia for normal growth and reproduction. When coccidia ingest CORID, they experience thiamin deficiency and starve from malnutrition. CORID has been experimentally administered at many times the recommended dosage and duration with no signs of toxicity.

When CORID works
CORID stops coccidia at a critical stage in the host animal's small intestine to prevent more damaging coccidiosis in the large intestine. By acting on the young asexual stages of the coccidia life cycle, CORID allows exposure to first-generation schizonts, so the host animal can develop natural immunity to coccidia. This makes CORID uniquely effective as a preventive therapy.

How CORID pays
PREVENT THE DISEASE
  • Administer CORID when experience tells you conditions are favorable for the development of coccidiosis or any time cattle are exposed to unusual stress


  • Effectively breaks the coccidia life cycle before a clinical coccidiosis outbreak can occur


  • Preventing coccidiosis allows animals to absorb nutrients naturally, so they maintain the ability to fight stress


  • Reduces the spread of infective coccidia oocysts
TREAT THE OUTBREAK
  • Administer CORID at the first clinical sign of coccidiosis, such as diarrhea and dehydration


  • Stops the development of merozoites before they further damage the large intestine


  • Reduces oocyst discharge in the feces, to reduce disease spread


  • Unique drinking water or drench administration ensures CORID will reach the intestine, even in animals with reduced feed intake and low gastrointestinal motility


  • CORID is the only coccidiostat that treats clinical coccidiosis

CORID. The strongest option for preventing coccidiosis.
The only option for treating coccidiosis.

  • Unique flexibility. CORID is the only product specifically labeled to both prevent and treat bovine coccidiosis (bloody scours) caused by Eimeria bovis and E. zurnii in calves.


  • Administration flexibility, too. CORID can be administered in drinking water, or as a drench, to prevent or treat bovine coccidiosis.


  • CORID should be used on a group, pen or herd basis. When one or more calves show clinical signs of coccidiosis, it's likely the rest of the group has been exposed to coccidia and all calves in the group, pen or herd should receive CORID.


  • Palatable. CORID is palatable and readily accepted by cattle.


  • Safety. CORID has been tested at many times the recommended dose levels and has a wide safety margin.

Daily Dosage

21-Day Prevention Protocol 5-Day Treatment Protocol
For a bovine coccidiosis prevention program, the recommended daily dose is 5 mg amprolium per kg body weight (5 mg per 2.2 lbs. body weight) for 21 consecutive days. For a bovine coccidiosis treatment program, the recommended daily dose is 10 mg amprolium per kg body weight (10 mg per 2.2 lbs. body weight) for 5 consecutive days.
