“…In agreement to our results, Orengo et al (2012) found that the challenge with Eimeria acervulina resulted in lower weight gain and worse feed conversion ratio 7 days after the challenge, compared to the non-challenged birds; supplementation of challenged birds with phytogenic additives (cinnamaldehyde and Echinacea purpurea) was not effective in counteracting the production loss. However, in our study, hops ␤-acids, as well as zinc bacitracin, improved feed conversion ratio during the final period (35-42 days).…”

“…The present study has been conducted using an experimental protocol similar to that of some recent reports (Cox et al, 2010;Orengo et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2013;Scheurer et al, 2013). In this study, the birds were inoculated with E. acervulina and E. tenella, while Kim et al (2013) showed that E. maxima was more effective in reducing weight gain than E. tenella.…”

“…(Williams, 2002;Yi et al, 2005). However, coccidiosis vaccina-tion affects broiler performance during the transient infection period (Lehman et al, 2009;Orengo et al, 2012;Walk et al, 2011). In this study, BWG, FI and FCR were significantly affected by vaccine from day one until 21, and these results can be attributed to the effects of Eimeria in intestinal mucosa integrity and, consequently, the digestion and absorption of nutrients (Chapman et al, 2002;Nollet et al, 2007).…”

This study aimed to assess the effects of glutamine as feed additive on performance and intestinal mucosa morphometry of broiler chickens vaccinated against coccidiosis. A total of 400 day-old male chicks were randomly assigned to four treatments (NVNG -no vaccination, no glutamine supplementation; NVG -no vaccination, glutamine supplementation (10 g kg −1 ); VNG -vaccination, no glutamine supplementation; VG -vaccination, glutamine supplementation) replicated four times with 25 birds per replicate. A commercial sprayed-on vaccine against coccidiosis containing Eimeria acervulina, E. maxima, E. mivati, and E. tenella was administered at the hatchery. Broiler performance was evaluated from 1-28 days, and morphometric parameters were analyzed at 14, 21, and 28 days of age. Body weight gain and feed intake were negatively affected by vaccination, but not by glutamine. Vaccination increased crypt depth in the duodenum and jejunum at 21 and 28 days. In conclusion, this study showed that glutamine was not able to increase weight gain of broiler chickens, irrespective of whether the animals were vaccinated or not against coccidiosis. Glutamine supplementation was able to improve feed conversion in vaccinated birds suggesting trophic effect on intestinal epithelium improving.

“…Anticoccidial drugs are commonly used to prevent and treat coccidiosis. However, indiscriminate and long-time use of anticoccidial drugs has led to the emergence of drug resistant parasites and presence of residual drugs in chicken products raising concerns about public health and food safety [3, 4]. According to Yang et al [5], anticoccidial vaccines are an alternative means to prevent coccidiosis.…”

“…In recent time, various researchers have tested several plants for anticoccidial activity in chickens [4, 5, 7–10]. Azadirachta indica (AI) and Khaya senegalensis (KS) both belonging to the family Meliaceae have been reported to possess anticoccidial properties and have been used individually to combat avian coccidiosis.…”

Coccidiosis is a disease of economic importance in poultry causing morbidity and mortality. Reports show that Azadirachta indica and Khaya senegalensis have been used individually in the treatment of avian coccidiosis. We thus investigated the efficacy and safety of the combined aqueous extracts of these plants for the treatment of experimentally induced coccidiosis in broiler chickens using oocyst count, oxidative stress biomarkers, serum biochemistry, histology, and haematological parameters. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, cardiac glycosides, and steroids in both extracts. In addition, alkaloids and flavonoids were present in Azadirachta indica. There was significant (p < 0.05) dose dependent decrease in oocyst count across the treatment groups with 400 mg/kg of the combined extract being the most efficacious dose. Immunomodulatory and erythropoietic activity was observed. There were decreased intestinal lesions and enhanced antioxidant activity across the treatment groups compared to the negative control. Administration of the combined extract did not cause damage to the liver as ALT, AST, and ALP levels were significantly reduced in the uninfected chickens treated with the extracts compared to control suggesting safety at the doses used. The combined aqueous extracts of K. senegalensis stem bark and Azadirachta indica leaves were ameliorative in chickens infected with coccidiosis.
