The main medication in a medicated feed is called a coccidiostat and is targeted at prevention of Coccidiosis. Very common among flocks of chickens, this disease is hard to prevent with sanitation alone and can devastate an untreated flock very quickly. Small flocks incubated on a farm are not often given the same injection preventative as hatchery raised chicks and need some protection. Other types of medicated feed also include low dose anti-biotics such as penicillin, Bacitracin or Ocytetracyline.
