Abstract
Objective This study aims to evaluate the anticoccidial efficacy of Artemisia spp. on Eimeria tenella infection in broiler chickens.
Materials and methods One hundred and twenty of 1-day-old broilers (Ross 308) were allotted into 5 groups (n = 24/group): negative control; positive control; and 3 treatment groups with Artemisia spp. at different concentration levels; 1%, 5% and 10%. Broilers in positive control and 3 treatment groups were orally inoculated with 3,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella at 14 days old. The anticoccidial efficacy of Artemisia spp. was evaluated from clinical signs, mortality rate, fecal oocyst output, caecal lesion score, weight gain and feed conversion ratio.
Results The results showed that there is no significant difference between positive control and treatment groups in fecal oocyst, output mortality, lesion score and feed conversion ratio. While, clinical sign showed significant differences.
Conclusion The results in this study showed that the using of Artemisia spp. leaf powder in feed have no effective in treatment Eimeria tenella infection broilers especially the fecal oocyst output, lesion score, weight gain and feed conversion ratio in post-infection are not significant differences with control group. Therefore, the further research should study about the mechanism of action and toxicity in Artemisia spp., however, using this medicinal plant should be considered on palatability of feed and its effect on the animal’s growth.
