Cox-out is a water-soluble powder Excellence markets against coccidiosis in poultry, a parasitic disease caused by several Eimeria species.
What Is Actually In It
No active ingredient could be confirmed for Cox-out. Excellence’s product page describes its target parasites and its mechanism of action in detail, stating it “acts by interfering with thiamine metabolism in the parasite,” but it does not name the compound responsible in the description or dosage text this research could reach. This page does not guess at a specific anti-coccidial compound from that mechanism description alone.
What the Label Says It Is For
Excellence’s label describes Cox-out as an “anti-coccidial drug effective against all species of poultry coccidia,” naming Eimeria tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima, and E. mivati among others. The label also states the product is “not for use in layers producing eggs for human consumption.” That is the manufacturer’s own indication and safety text, reproduced here rather than restated as this site’s own claim. Coccidiosis can produce symptoms similar to other intestinal diseases and is typically confirmed through fecal examination.
Forms It Comes In
Cox-out is a water-soluble powder, sold in a 1 kg package. Excellence’s label instructs mixing 5 grams or one sachet into one gallon of water for 5 to 7 days, with medicated drinking water as the only water source during treatment. That instruction is quoted verbatim in the fact table above, sourced directly from the manufacturer’s own product page, and is not repeated or adjusted in this body text.
Withdrawal Period
Excellence publishes a withdrawal period of 7 days for meat. The manufacturer separately states the product is not intended for layers producing eggs for human consumption, which this page treats as a use restriction distinct from a numeric egg withdrawal figure. Anyone weighing timing around this product should ask a veterinarian or agrivet.
What This Page Does Not Tell You
This page transcribes what Excellence publishes about Cox-out. It does not tell a reader what the product’s active compound actually is, since that was not disclosed, nor whether a bird’s droppings or condition actually indicate coccidiosis rather than another intestinal disease. Take a bird’s specific symptoms to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office before deciding on treatment. Browse /medicines for other entries in this directory.
