An anticoccidial disinfection formulation containing a compound represented by general formula (I) below as an active ingredient:

R.sub.1NCS (I)

[In formula (I), R.sub.1 represents an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms or the like] This compound has a high sporulation inhibitory activity against coccidian oocysts and is thus effective for eradicating coccidians and for disinfecting rearing facilities and rooms of host animals, such as a livestock barn and a poultry house.
