| Abstract: | Anticoccidial efficacy of
"Coxynil" a polyherbal preparation was tested against Eimeria tenella in broilers. Body weight
of birds challenged with E. tenella
in Coxynil treated groups was higher as compared to Coxynil untreated. Oocyst
out put, lesion score, HI titres against New Castle disease virus were
significantly higher in Coxynil supplemented groups in comparison to Coxynil
un-supplemented groups. Examination of ceaca of the birds, revealed that the
Coxynil interfered with life cycle of coccidia. The typical second generation
schizonts were absent in ceacal section of Coxynil treated groups. The results
indicate that Coxynil is effective herbal coccidiostat. |
