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...

AIM Coccidiosis is an important enteric parasitic disease of poultry associated with significant economic losses to poultry farmers worldwide. This survey was conducted from June 2014 through July 2015 with the main goal of investigating the prevalence and associated risk factors of coccidiosis among village and exotic breeds of chickens in Maiduguri, Northeastern Nigeria. MATERIALS AND METHO...

The Indian poultry sector has become a major contributor to the national economy as a result of the revolutionary and scientific approaches in avian health care management. Indian poultry industry contributes nearly Rs. 9.9 billion annually to the national economy (Mohana Subramanian et al., 2010). In India, broiler chicks are reared in deep litter system under farm condition which leads to fre...

Roles of probiotic microorganisms in digestive physiology are contributed to enhancing animals health and reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. Banning the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry in many countries has been contributed to the increasing use of probiotics because long-term use of antibiotics causes antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria in poultry a...

In July 1971, the polyether ionophorous antibiotic monensin was introduced in the United States for the control of coccidiosis in poultry. At that time, prospects for new anticoccidial agents were not good. Amprolium had enjoyed several years of use, but many other compounds had been abandoned as resistance to them developed. After the introduction of monensin, most commercial broilers were med...

The coccidiosis is the most remarkable widespread parasitic poultry disease. Due to its clinical or subclinical course which is even more significant, high economical losses are evident. The health and the economical implications of coccidiosis are emphasized in intensive poultry farming. In this paper investigation was performed on the most frequent deviations in application of preventive mean...

background: coccidiosis of domestic fowl, caused by species of the genus eimeria , is responsi­ble for important economic losses in poultry production. because different species and/or strains can vary in pathogenicity and other biological parameters, their precise characteriza­tion is important for epizootiological studies. methods: fifty samples from litter, whole intestinal tract and feces w...

background: the control of coccidiosis in poultry industryis dominated by prophylactic chemotherapy; however,drug resistance is a serious problem. alternative control methodssuch as vaccination have been accepted as a practical method forcontrolling coccidiosis in chickens. considering the immunologicalvariation of eimeria strains, the efficacy of live coccidiosisvaccines may be compromised. ob...

Introduction Coccidiosis is one of the most important diseases of poultry caused by protozoa, Eimeria and is generally characterized by bloody diarrhea, the primary symptom and high mortality. The bloody diarrhea is mainly due to intestinal epithelium dying off since a large number of oocysts and merozoites burst out of the cells. The disease spreads from one bird to another by contact with inf...

Coccidiosis is likely the most costly disease threat to global poultry production and prevention of coccidiosis is essential in order to maintain intestinal integrity and the efficient absorption of nutrients in the chicken. Narasin is an ionophore anticoccidial. Ionophores transport cations such as sodium across the pellicle membrane of sporozoites of coccidia, resulting in a lethal osmotic im...
