Nitromide is primarily used in veterinary medicine as an antiprotozoal agent. It is effective in treating and preventing coccidiosis in poultry, a common parasitic disease that affects the intestinal tract. By inhibiting the growth and reproduction of coccidia, it helps maintain the health and productivity of poultry flocks. It is often administered in combination with other coccidiostats to enhance its efficacy and reduce the risk of resistance development. Additionally, its use supports the overall growth and feed efficiency of birds, making it a valuable component in poultry farming operations.
