Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for controlling coccidiosis in animals which comprises orally administering to said animals an effective coccidiosis-controlling amount of one or more active compounds corresponding to the formula ##STR4## wherein X represents H, Cl, Br, F, I, CCl 3 , CCl 2 F, CClF 2 , CHF 2 or CF 3 ; and tautomers or physiologically acceptable salts thereof, the effective amount being in the range of from about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for controlling coccidiosis in animals which comprises orally administering to said animals an effective coccidiosis-controlling amount of one or more active compounds corresponding to the formula ##STR4## wherein X represents H, Cl, Br, F, I, CCl 3 , CCl 2 F, CClF 2 , CHF 2 or CF 3 ; and tautomers or physiologically acceptable salts thereof, the effective amount being in the range of from about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the active compound is 7-chloro-5-nitro-2(1H),3(4H)-quinoxalinedione which corresponds to the formula ##STR5## or a tautomer thereof; said animals are poultry; and the active compound is administered orally.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
