Abstract: | t-Butylaminoethanol is an anticoccidial compound that is related structurally to the metabolically active substances, dimethylaminoethanol, and choline. Toxic effects of t-butylaminoethanol for chickens and Eimeria tenella are specifically overcome by feeding sufficient amounts of dimethylaminoethanol or choline. Dietary concentrations of the two above metabolites required to totally overcome toxic effiects of t-butylaminoethanol were determined and are expressed as the reversal ratio, inhibitor (t-butylamino-ethanol): metabolite. The inhibitor:choline ratio for total reversal of toxic effects of the inhibitor in chickens is approximately 1:10 over a concentration range of inhibitor from 0.019 to 0.05%. The inhibitor:choline ratio for reversal of antiparasitic effects is approximately 1:200 with a concentration of 0.01% inhibitor. The inhibitor:Dimethylaminoethanol ratio for reversal of toxic effects of the inhibitor in the chicken is approximately 1:7 with a concentration of 0.015% inhibitor. The inhibitor:dimethylaminoethanol ratio for reversal of antiparasitic effects is approxmately 1:20 wth a concentration of 0.01% inhibitor. |
