Emulsions are either of the water-in-oil type or of the oil-in-water type. They are prepared by dissolving the active compound either in the hydrophobic or in the hydrophilic phase and homogenizing these with the solvent of the other phase with the aid of suitable emulsifiers and, if appropriate, further auxiliaries such as colorants absorption-promoting substances, preservatives, antioxidants, light screens and viscosity-raising substances. Hydrophobic phases (oils) which may be mentioned are paraffin oils, silicone oils, natural vegetable oils such as sesame oil, almond oil, castor oil, synthetic triglycerides such as caprylic/capric acid biglyceride, a triglyceride mixture with vegetable fatty acids of chain length C.sub.8-12 or other specially selected natural fatty acids, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, if necessary also containing hydroxyl groups, or mono- and diglycerides of the C.sub.8 /C.sub.10 -fatty acids. Fatty acid esters such as ethyl stearate, di-n-butyryl adipate, hexyl laurate, dipropylene glycol pelargonate, esters of a branched fatty acid of average chain length containing saturated fatty alcohols of chain length C.sub.16 -C.sub.18, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, caprylic/capric acid esters of saturated fatty alcohols of chain length C.sub.12 -C.sub.18, isopropyl stearate, oleyl oleate, decyl oleate, ethyl oleate, ethyl lactate, wax-like fatty acid esters such as dibutyl phthalate, diisopropyl adipate, and ester mixtures related to the latter, inter alia fatty alcohols such as isotridecyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, cetyl stearyl alcohol and oleyl alcohol. Fatty acids such as, for example, oleic acid and its mixtures. Hydrophilic phases which may be mentioned are water, alcohols such as, for example, propylene glycol, glycerol, sorbitol and their mixtures. Emulsifiers which may be mentioned are non-ionic surfactants, for example, polyoxyethylated castor oil, polyoxyethylated sorbitan monooleate, sorbitan monostearate, glycerol monostearate, polyoxyethyl stearate and alkylphenol polyglycol ethers; ampholytic surfactants such as di-Na N-lauryl-.beta.-iminodipropionate or lecithin; anion-active surfactants, such as Na lauryl sulphate, fatty alcohol ether sulphates and mono/dialkyl polyglycol ether orthophosphoric acid ester monoethanolamine salt; cation-active surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride. Further auxiliaries which may be mentioned are viscosity-raising and emulsion-stabilizing substances such as carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose and other cellulose and starch derivatives, polyacrylates, alginates, gelatin, gum arabic, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, copolymers of methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride, polyethylene glycols, waxes, colloidal silica or mixtures of the substances mentioned. Suspensions can be administered orally, dermally or as injections. They are prepared by suspending the active compound in an excipient liquid, if appropriate with the addition of further auxiliaries such as wetting agents, colorants, absorption-promoting substances, preservatives, antioxidants or light screens. Excipient liquids which may be mentioned are all homogenous solvents and solvent mixtures. Wetting agents (dispersing agents) which may be mentioned are the surfactants mentioned further above. Further auxiliaries which may be mentioned are those mentioned further above. Semi-solid preparations may be administered orally or dermally. They differ from the suspensions and emulsions described above only by their higher viscosity. To prepare solid preparations, the active compound is mixed with suitable excipients, if appropriate with the addition of auxiliaries, and brought into the desired form. Excipients which may be mentioned are all physiologically tolerable solid inert substances. Those which may be used are inorganic and organic substances. Inorganic substances are, for example, sodium chloride, carbonates such as calcium carbonate, hydrogen carbonate, aluminas, silicas, clays, precipitated or colloidal silica and phosphates. Organic substances are, for example, sugar, cellulose, foodstuffs and feedstuffs such as milk powder, animal meals, cereal meals and shreds and starches. Auxiliaries are preservatives, antioxidants and colorants which have already been mentioned further above. Further suitable auxiliaries are lubricants and glidants such as, for example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, talc, bentonite, disintegration-promoting substances such as starch or cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, binders such as, for example, starch, gelatin or linear polyvinylpyrrolidone and dry binders such as microcrystalline cellulose. The active compounds may also be present in the preparations mixed with synergists or with other active compounds. Ready-to-use preparations contain the active compound in concentrations of 10 ppm-20 percent by weight, preferably 0.1-10 percent by weight. Preparations which are diluted before administration contain the active compound in concentrations of 0.5-90 percent by weight, preferably 1 to 50 percent by weight. In general, it has proved advantageous to administer amounts of about 0.5 to about 50 mg, preferably 1 to 20 mg, of active compound per kg of body weight per day to obtain effective results. The active compounds may also be administered with the feed or drinking water of the animals. Feedstuffs and foodstuffs contain 0.01 to 100 ppm, preferably 0.5 to 50 ppm, of the active compound in combination with a suitable edible material. Such a feedstuff and foodstuff can be used both for curative purposes and for prophylactic purposes. The preparation of such a feedstuff or foodstuff takes place by mixing a concentrate or a premix, which contains 0.5 to 30%, preferably 1 to 20% by weight of an active compound mixed with an edible organic or inorganic excipient, with customary feedstuffs. Edible excipients are, for example, corn meal or corn and soya-bean meal or mineral salts which preferably contain a low amount of an edible dust prevention oil, for example, corn oil or soya oil. The premix obtained in this case can then be added to the complete feedstuff before it is fed to the animals. Examples of employment in coccidiosis which may be mentioned are: For the cure and prophylaxis, for example, of coccidiosis in poultry, in particular in chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, 0.1 to 100 ppm, preferably 0.5 to 100 ppm, of an active compound are mixed with a suitable edible material, for example, a nutritive feedstuff. If desired, these amounts may be increased, particularly when the active compound is well tolerated by the receiver. Correspondingly, administration may take place via the drinking water. For the treatment of individual animals, for example, in the case of the treatment of coccidiosis in mammals or toxoplasmosis, active compound amounts of 0.5 to 100 mg/kg of body weight are preferably administered daily, in order to obtain the desired results. In spite of this, it may be temporarily necessary to deviate from the amounts mentioned, in particular depending on the body weight of the test animal or the type of administration method, but also on account of the animal order and its individual reaction to the active compound or the type of formulation and the time or the interval at which it is administered. Thus, in certain cases it may be sufficient to manage with less than the previously mentioned minimum amount, whereas in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be exceeded. In the administration of larger amounts, it can be expedient to divide these into several individual administrations within the course of the day.
