BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary plant-derived phytonutrients, carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and Capsicum oleoresin, on the translational regulation of genes associated with immunology, physiology and metabolism using high-throughput microarray analysis and in vivo disease challenge model of avian coccidiosis. METHODS In this study, we used nutrigen...

background: coccidiosis is recognized as the parasitic disease that has the greatest economic impact on poultry production. modern poultry production is largely dependent upon anticoccidials. objectives: the aim of the present study was to determine and compare the efficacy of two chemical anticoccidials (clopidol and diclazuril) on oocyst shedding and their probable effects on growth performan...

In 1910, H. B. Fantham described the life cycle of a coccidian parasite in birds. Fantham was a parasitologist at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom working for an enquiry into diseases affecting the red grouse. Despite the growing importance of the poultry industry and the realization that coccidiosis was an important disease of the fowl, little further work was carried out in the Unit...

Avian coccidiosis is caused by several distinct species of Eimeria protozoa and is the major parasitic disease of poultry of economic importance. As an alternative strategy to control avian coccidiosis without using prophylactic medications, we have investigated the efficacy of inducing passive immunity against coccidiosis by orally feeding hyperimmune IgY antibodies. In this study, a commercia...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the phytotherapeutic efficacy Allium sativum L. (garlic) as alternative compounds antibiotics used by farmers in treatment coccidiosis poultry. In study, 20 chickens divided into 4 batches received only garlic powder their feed. results obtained after a natural infestation revealed weight loss all subjects before administration different products. Fol...

Monteban® G100 is a feed additive intended for the control of coccidiosis, a debilitating protozoal infection in poultry. In common with a number of other coccidiostats, the additive is due for evaluation to comply with statutory requirements agreed at the EU-level. The European Commission asked the EFSA to evaluate the product Monteban G100 and advise the Commission on its efficacy and safety....

Aim: The present study was undertaken to know the Prevalence of chicken coccidiosis in Jammu division in both organized and backyard chickens during the year 2010-11. Materials and Methods: A total of 720 faecal samples were collected from both organized farms and backyard poultry (unorganized) sector of Jammu. Results: The overall prevalence of 39.58% was recorded in the present study and five...

Background: Coccidiosis is the most common parasitic disease in poultry, ionophore antibiotics are preferred drugs for controlling this disease. However, prolonged use of ionophores will result in Eimeria deformation and resistance to these drugs. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of probiotic and prebiotic, that is used to boost d...

Abstract Coccidiosis is a critical enteric disease that costs more than $14.5 billion in annual cost to world poultry industry. It caused by different Eimeriaspecies invade and replicate within the intestinal epithelium site-specific manner. The Eimeriainfection induces local damage, reduces feed consumption, utilization, growth performance, increasing mortality rate. With recent antibiotic ban...
