ABSTRACT

Drugs and live vaccines are the control measures used recently in the poultry farms. Vaccines are not accepted due to the high cost and not covering all pathogenic species. One of the ways that has been very much accepted nowadays is to use herbal compounds and their active ingredients to treat the disease. In this research, we investigated the effect of different doses of our product Diareena which is herbal (complex of multi medicinal plants) and with a known drug compound, called Salinomycin. Samples were collected 9th day after the treatments and four various growth parameters (weight gain, food conversion rate, Oocyst per gram and caecal length) were assessed. All growth parameters were best with the group b which was treated with Diareena (Anti-diarrhoeal). The present study was akin to the findings of[12], who reported that extracts of Artemisia annua L were shown to improve body mass gain, lesion scores and feed conversion ratios in chicks infected with E. tenella. Similarly DU and HU[15] also observed significantly higher body mass gains and mild lesion score in birds medicated with herbal complex for E. tenella infection in chicken.
