Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anticoccidial activity of the aqueous extract of the leaves of Anogeissus leiocarpus. To do this, 100 broilers were divided into 4 batches of 25 chickens. At 8th day of age, the chickens of groups B, C and D were infected orally with 10.000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. Then, chickens of groups C and D were treated respectively with 10g/L of A. leiocarpus and 0.2g/L of Vetacox S®. The results showed that the aqueous extract of A. leiocarpus significantly improved (p< 0.05) weight growth, weight gain of group C compared to group B. In addition, the aqueous extract of A. leiocarpus significantly reduced (p< 0.05) oocyst number and lesion score of group C compared to group B. In conclusion, the aqueous extract of A. leiocarpus could be used in the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis caused by E. tenella.
