Changsanone (Halofuginone) is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent effective against various types of coccidiosis in chickens, including soft, toxic, heap-type, displaced, giant, and Brucella-Aimee coccidiosis. It demonstrates significant activity against coccidial oocysts, first-generation, and second-generation schizonts. It is also effective against most Gram-positive bacteria and does not exhibit cross-resistance. Changsan ketone hydrobromide is widely used as a feed additive for the treatment of coccidiosis in poultry.

Changsanone is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent widely utilized as a feed additive in poultry farming to prevent and treat various forms of coccidiosis in chickens.
It is highly effective against soft, toxic, heap-type, displaced, giant, and Brucella-Aimee coccidiosis in chickens.
It demonstrates powerful activity specifically targeting coccidial oocysts as well as both first-generation and second-generation schizonts, stopping the replication cycle.
No, Halofuginone does not exhibit cross-resistance, making it a reliable treatment option even against strains that have developed resistance to other traditional antiparasitics.
It should be kept sealed in a cool, dry place, and strictly protected from exposure to direct light to maintain its chemical stability and effectiveness.
Halofuginone is soluble in organic solvents but has poor solubility in water, which should be considered during feed mixing and preparation.
