Monteban™ (narasin)

A great finish for broiler chickens

Monteban is an ionophore that aids in the prevention of coccidiosis in broilers. Coccidiosis is a costly disease threat to global poultry production, and prevention is essential for maintaining intestinal integrity and the efficient absorption of nutrients in the chicken¹.
The active molecule in Monteban is narasin, which is effective against most pathogenic species of coccidia in chickens¹.
Prevention of coccidiosis leads to additional benefits, such as improved intestinal integrity, and improved production parameters^1,2. It can be used throughout the life of the broiler in all rations.
