Abstract

Coccidiosis is an infectious disease of the intestinal tract of wild and domestic animals caused by different protozoa. It is one of the most expensive and common diseases of poultry in spite of the advances in treatment, management, nutrition, and genetics and is considered as a key factor that causes an enormous loss to poultry producers worldwide. The aim of this paper is to deal with the overview of the disease and effective use of anticoccidial drugs for its prevention and control.

Keywords: Coccidiosis; Ionophore; Chemical; Anticoccidial Programs
