2026-09-07: Started amprolium for batch 1 and batch 2 chicks (suspected coccidiosis — after batch-2 mortality).

Week of 2026-09-14: liver tonic + vitamin doses + amino acids given to batch 1, batch 2 and batch 3 chicks (supportive course after the amprolium round).

Supportive supplements (liver tonic / vitamins / amino acids) run 3-5 days, max 7 days, then stop — plain clean water + starter feed is enough.

Never give B-complex / thiamine (B1) while amprolium is being given — amprolium works by blocking thiamine; B1 in the water cancels the treatment.

Repeat a short (3-5 day) vitamin course only on a trigger: vaccination, antibiotic/anticoccidial/deworming treatment, transport, heat stress, or visible deficiency.

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) accumulate — continuous daily supplementation long-term is not required and can be harmful.
