Assessment of curative and preventive efficacy of the anticoccidial drug “Сoсcimax” together with the feed additive “Mintov” in experimental eimeriosis of chickens

Abstract

The article presents the evaluation of curative and preventive efficacy of the anticoccidial drug “Coccimax” in a joint application of the feed additive “Mintov”, in experimental eimeriosis of chickens. Were determined the degree of infection and the dynamics of changes in body weight in the experimental bird. It was found that the use of the anticoccidium drug “Coccimax” together with the feed additive “Mintov” helps to reduce the infestation of chickens (at the end of the experiment, the infection of birds in the control group was higher by 90-91 % compared to the experimental groups), provides increased survival rate (by 13.3% compared to the control group) and body weight gain (by 8.5–11.8 % compared to the control group).
