Application

Nicarbazin is a coccidiostat (antiprotozoal agent) in the poultry industry and is a contraceptive for resident Canada geese and waterfowl. It is used to study avian reproduction and is used to interfere with the formation of the vitelline (yolk) membrane in bird eggs. It has been used to study how delivery method can effect plasma levels of 4,4′-dinitrocarbanilide (DNC), which is the active anticoccidial component of Nicarbazin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nicarbazin affects avian reproduction by reducing egg production, egg weight, and egg hatchability. The mechanism of action of Nicarbazin is unknown.

Other Notes

Nicarbazin, a coccidiostat, is used as a feed additive in poultry but not in laying hens. Feed contamination may however occur resulting in residues being present in eggs. As a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) does not exist for nicarbazin residues

A survey was carried out on the occurrence of dinitrocarbanilide (DNC), the marker residue for nicarbazin, in poultry produced in Ireland during 2002-2004. Liver (n = 736) and breast muscle samples (n = 342) were tested. DNC residues were found
