Abstract

Present study was carried out on 350 broiler birds having seven different groups. Normal control (no infection), challenged control (only infection of E. tenella) and biococcin, monensisn, amprollium, furazolidone, and sulphonamides group were challenged with E. tenella oocytes the different groups, each group was having 50 birds with 5 replicates. All the medicines were fed to the broiler birds from day 1. On day 14 of experiment E. tenella challenge was given to six groups and normal control was not given infection of E. tenella. Biococcin is the blend of Biococcin is the blend of rich phytochemicals consisted of Holarrhena antidysentrica, Tinospora cordifolia, Allium sativum, Cinnamomum camphora, which were able to acts as anticoccidial. The efficacy of biococcin was similar or little bit higher than the regular standard and most effective drugs like monensin and amprollium. Efficacy of biococcin was quite superior in respect to body weights, FCR, mortality pattern, gross and microscopic scoring of caecal lesions. OPG were significantly lower in Biococcin group as compared to all other challenged groups. The active ingredients present in Biococcin were able to destroy the infective stages and prevents the gametocyte formation of E. tenella.
