Roxarsone is an organoarsenic feed additive and has been widely used in the poultry industry to prevent coccidiosis and improve feed efficiency. The presence of roxarsone and its degradation products results in the instability of the anaerobic methanogenic process. Roxarsone inhibits methane production, and rapidly degrades into 3-amino-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (HAPA).
