Description
Mohammed M Qaid and co-authors feed a 2026 plant mixture to broiler chickens deliberately infected with Eimeria tenella, the gut parasite behind costly coccidiosis. The blend pairs cinnamon with Rumex nervosus, a phytobiotic alternative to the synthetic drugs that resistance keeps eroding. Outcomes covered growth, carcass traits, cecal wall structure, and how many parasite eggs the birds shed.
Infection alone wrecked growth and cecal health in the untreated challenged group. The plant mixture cut oocyst shedding by as much as 75.8 percent against that group in the highlights. Anticoccidial index scores of 162 to 168 rated the activity as marked. The high dose best repaired cecal shape and thinned the swollen wall, while the low dose paradoxically gave the best growth among supplemented groups. The authors back phytobiotics as a serious control option.
