| dc.description.abstract | The present work was conducted to study the prevalence of coccidiosis in commercial broiler and layer farms located in different rearing region in Uttarakhand state (Garhwal and Kumaun region) from August 2018 to March 2019. Anticoccidial efficacy of 50% hydromethanolic extract of Ageratum conyzoides was evaluated in a commercial poultry farm and compared with Amprolium. The economic loss was assessed with help of various parameters viz. chemoprophylaxis cost, chemotherapeutic cost, mortality loss, reduced body weight gain, increased FCR etc. in broilers. Total economic losses were `7,171 in herbal treated group as compared to amprolium treated group it was `7,317. A total of 34 commercial poultry farms were screened and 8 were found positive for coccidiosis. The overall prevalence of coccidiosis was 23.52% in Garhwal and Kumaun region of Uttarakhand district. The identification of the coccidian parasite was confirmed by gross lesion site, oocyst morphology and sporulation time of oocyst. Clinical signs included bloody droppings, ruffled feather, anemia, intestinal hemorrhages. Anticoccidial activity of 50% hydromethanolic extract of Ageratum conyzoides plant (herbal drug) was assessed and compared the activity with the standard anticoccidial drug Amprolium. It was concluded from the study that 50% hydromethanolic extract of Ageratum conyzoides @ 1000 mg/kg body weight for 7 days revealed better anticoccidial activity against mixed infection of different Eimeria species namely E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. maxima E. mitis in broiler which was comparable with Amprolium. | en_US |
