BACKGROUND MLF2 was the candidate gene associated with coccidiosis resistance in chickens. Although single marker analysis supported the association between MLF2 and coccidiosis resistance, causative mutation relevant to coccidiosis was not identified yet. Thus, this study suggested segregation analysis of MLF2 haplotype and the association test of the other candidate genes using improved data ...

Parsons, University of Illinois. In each of four two-wk experiments, chicks were inoculated either on D 9 or 11 with 5.0 x 105 sporulated oocysts (acute infection) or D 9, 12, 15 and 18 with lower levels...

Coccidiosis in poultry is still considered as one of the main diseases affecting performance of poultry reared under intensive production systems. Although a lot of research efforts have been allocated towards molecular techniques, and a lot of progress has been noted in this field, practical use of these techniques are not available today, except in the field of diagnostics, where several poly...

Decoquinate is a quinolone derivative that has been used for over 20 years in the control of coccidiosis in domestic ruminants. Decoquinate treats coccidiosis in lambs and calves and prevents coccidiosis in lambs when administered in feed at a dosage of 1 mg decoquinate/kg bodyweight (b.w.) daily for at least 28 days. It prevents coccidiosis in calves and aids in the prevention of coccidiosis i...

BACKGROUND The potential for rabbit production in Kenya is high. However, high morbidity and mortality of domestic rabbits were reported. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine the pathology, prevalence and the predisposing factors to coccidiosis in domestic rabbits in selected regions in Kenya. ANIMALS AND METHODS A total of 61 farms keeping rabbits in six different counties were ...

Five experiments were conducted with young, male, crossbred chicks to investigate the effects of experimental Eimeria acervulina infection on the efficacy of supplemental Cu and (or) methionine when added to a corn-soybean meal diet. Duodenal coccidiosis (due to E. acervulina) and supplemental Cu (500 and 750 mg/kg) depressed weight gain and efficiency of feed utilization. Supplemental Cu incre...

Coccidiosis is a critical disease in the poultry industry worldwide. Producers apply different strategies to control and prevent this disease. Herbal drugs are suitable remedies for reducing losses associated with coccidiosis poultry. The present study aimed evaluate effectiveness of an herbal mixture preventing coccidiosis. A total 160 broiler chickens were divided into four treatment groups, ...

Coccidiosis caused by protozoan parasite of Eimeria species is one the most important poultry diseases prevalent in different parts globe including India. The invades intestinal cells and disease characterised enteritis diarrhoea leading to weight loss, altered feed conversion ratio, poor growth eventually death affected birds. A survey on commercial farms was conducted 10 districts Haryana sta...
