Abstract
A composition which comprises a pyridinol derivative of the formula ##SPC1## Intimately dispersed in an inert edible carrier, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom; a lower alkyl group, an aralkyl group, an aliphatic, an aromatic or a heterocyclic acyl group; an alkoxycarbonyl group; an aralkoxycarbonyl group; an aryloxycarbonyl group; a N-substituted carbonyl group; a N-substituted thiocarbonyl group; a phosphono group; or a salt thereof. The composition is a preventive and curative anticoccidial agent for poultry and domestic animals. Particularly, it shows a significant activity against chronic coccidiosis caused by Eimeria acervulina. The composition is less toxic for animals, besides it has an advantage that it is also effective for coccidiosis caused by coccidia resistant to the known anticoccidial agents.
