Dinitolmide is usually added to feed in doses of 125 ppm (preventive) or 250 ppm (curative). It is a broad-spectrum anticoccidial drug, preventing seven main strains of Eimeria coccidium. It leaves no residues in tissues.{{fact|date=December 2013}} It can be also used to prevent coccidiosis of domestic rabbits.
