Lerbek is a synergistic mixture of methyl benzoquate and clopidol for the prevention of chicken coccidiosis.
Lerbek is a synergistic mixture of a pyridone (meticlorpindol) and quinolone (methyl-benzoquate).
The unique combination of meticlorpindol and methyl-benzoquate produces better results than either compound on their own.
Lerbek is a chemical coccidiosis control product that inhibits the development of sporozoites and prevents the shedding of oocysts.
Using Lerbek as a chemical control break in a well-planned coccidiosis control programme allows other products (e.g., ionophores) to work more effectively
The principal involved in rotation programmes is like that of shuttle program - the use of drugs with different modes of action will help the elimination of any strains that may be resistant to ionophores.
Field results have demonstrated that resting a class of drugs helps restoring the efficacy of the parasites to that drug. (H.D. Chapman)
Lerbek does not have cross resistance with other coccidia chemical control products e.g. Deccox
To prevent resistance, Lerbek should not be used for more than one consecutive flock.
Lerbek is advised to be used in feed from placement to approx. 28 days on farm.
