Coccidiosis: Recent Progress in Host Immunity and Alternatives to Antibiotic Strategies
Coccidiosis is an avian intestinal disease caused by several distinct species of Eimeria parasites that damage the host’s intestinal system, resulting in poor nutrition absorption, reduced growth, and often death.

Effect of Probiotic and Synbiotic Supplementation on Growth Performance, Serum Parameters and Gut Histomorphometry in Broiler Chickens Challenged With Eimeria. [PDF]
This study assessed probiotic and synbiotic supplementation via drinking water in Eimeria challenged broilers. In a 2×3 factorial design with 360 Cobb 500 chickens, Eimeria impaired growth, FCR and gut morphology, while probiotics and synbiotics improved performance, intestinal structure and serum biochemistry, alleviating coccidiosis induced damage ...

Effects of Betaine on Performance, Blood Biochemistry, Nutrient Utilization and Gut Health in Coccidia-Infected Broilers. [PDF]
Betaine supplementation improved growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood lipid profiles and caecal lesion scores in broilers experimentally challenged with coccidiosis, with the greatest benefits observed at 600 mg/kg, highlighting its potential as a supportive dietary strategy against coccidial infection. ABSTRACT The objective of this study

Understanding the direct and indirect impacts of disease response phenotypes on chicken coccidiosis epidemiology: A modelling approach. [PDF]
Coccidiosis, a widespread disease in poultry caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, leads to significant economic losses. The increasing resistance of Eimeria species to anti-parasitics, combined with the high cost of vaccines, underscores ...

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of narasin and diclazuril (Interban®) for chickens for fattening and chickens reared for laying (Elanco GmbH). [PDF]
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of the coccidiostat consisting of narasin and diclazuril (Interban®) for chickens for fattening and chickens reared for laying. The FEEDAP Panel concludes that the use of Streptomyces sp. NRRL B‐67771 in the production of

Raising broiler chickens without ionophore anticoccidials
SUMMARY: In the United States, anticoccidials belonging to the ionophore class are considered antibiotics and cannot be used in marketing programs such as “No Antibiotics Ever” (NAE) or “Raised Without Antibiotics” (RWA).

Incidence of broiler caecal coccidiosis in ninevah governorate 1999-2004 [PDF]
A descriptive epidemiological survey was made in Nineveh governorate 1999-2004 for determination of broiler clinical caecal coccidiosis incidence in broiler chickens. Out of total 3594 broiler patches reared in this period, 1918 (53.36%) were positive to
