Abstract

Due to the emergence of drug resistance against synthetic chemicals, effective alternatives like essential oils are required for the control of coccidiosis in poultry. Hence, the present in-vivo experiment was conducted on Citrus (C.) sinensis essential oil for investigation of its anticoccidial efficacy. For this purpose, 72 day-old chicks were procured from local market and divided randomly into six equal groups: A, B, C, D, E and F. On day 14, all the groups except F were administered with 50,000 sporulated oocysts (mixed Eimeria species). On the same day, groups A, B and C were given 1, 2 and 3% of C. sinensis essential oil, respectively, in feed, group D with Toltrazuril® while groups E and F were left unmedicated. The results revealed C. sinensis essential oil to have positive effect on FCR in broilers. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in oocysts per gram of faeces, lesion score, oocyst score and faecal score in oil treated broilers at the maximum inclusion level of 3% comparable to the standard control. However, apart from significant effect on WBCs count and serum levels of ALT and LDH, C. sinensis essential oil had very limited non-significant effect on hematological and serum biochemical parameters, and organs’ weight. Thus, the present study provided C. sinensis essential oil to be an alternate anticoccidial agent which can be used in coccidiosis control programs after further validation

柑桔精油对肉鸡的抗球虫作用
由于对合成化学品出现耐药性,需要精油等有效替代品来控制家禽球虫病。因此,本实验对柑橘精油进行体内实验,研究其抗球虫作用。试验从当地市场采购72日龄雏鸡,随机分为A、B、C、D、E、F 6组。第14天,除F组外,其余组均给予5万个孢子卵囊(混合艾美耳球虫种)。同日,A组、B组和C组分别在饲料中添加1%、2%和3%的紫荆挥发油,D组添加妥曲祖利®,E组和F组不给药。结果表明,紫荆挥发油对肉鸡FCR有积极的影响。此外,最大添加水平为3%时,油处理肉鸡的每克粪便卵囊数、病变评分、卵囊评分和粪便评分均显著高于标准对照组。然而,除了对白细胞计数和血清ALT、LDH水平有显著影响外,对血液学、血清生化指标和脏器重量的影响非常有限,无显著性影响。因此,本研究提供了一种替代的抗球虫药物,经进一步验证,可用于球虫病的控制方案
