Essential insights

• Disruption of mitochondrial function: Toltrazuril inhibits energy production in the mitochondria of protozoa.
• Damage to intracellular structures: The substance destroys developmental stages of coccidia, such as schizogony and gametogony, halting their reproduction and spread.
• Selective toxicity: Toltrazuril is selectively toxic to coccidia with minimal impact on host cells, making it safe for use.
