In 1946 the first use of an arsanilic to control coccidia was introduced in commercially available chicken feed. Problem was while useful to save the flock, this drug effected the eggs and meat and rendered them unfit for human consumption. In the early 1950's a broad-spectrum drug to control coccidia was introduced by Purina.

What is medicated poultry feed?

The main medication in a medicated feed is called a coccidiostat and is targeted at prevention of Coccidiosis.

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.
