[Comparative trial of the action of coccidiocidal drug agents to control coccidiosis in turkeys due to Eimeria adenoeides].

Abstract

Tested was the effect of the anticoccidial agents ESB3, trimedin, Coccistop, and Coccibio used in the control of Eimeria adenoeides infection in turkeys. The experiment made use of a total of 130 turkey poults of the Beltsville White breed, divided into 13 groups of 10 birds each. The drugs were applied at different hours following infection that corresponded to the various phases of the endogenic development of the parasite. Best results were obtained with the use of ESB3 and of the Bulgarian preparation trimedin. Weaker was the effect produced with the administration of the other two preparations, which was explained by the weaker suppression of E. adeneoides in the process of gametogony.
