Abstract
The impact and contribution of poultry sector in global hunger alleviation cannot be over emphasised. However, it is also plagued by protozoan parasites of the genus eimeria which causes Coccidiosis. Phytobiotics has been proven to be a substantial replacement for antibiotics in poultry industry. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of phytogenic as feed additives in broiler feed on qualitative analysis of eimeria spp in broilers feaces. About 200 Arbor Acre strains were obtained from a reputable commercial hatchery. The birds were randomly allocated into five treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design. Each replicate contained 4 birds. The birds were reared on deep litter system for 42 days (6 weeks). Data collected from the parasitological examination of feacal sample were analysed using SAS. The result showed that there is significant difference in treatment 1 of the first group of Phytobiotics among the other treatments. For birds fed with phyllantus amarus, the result showed no significant difference across the treatment. This indicates that at this rate, further inclusion of the phytobiotics (LpCOLg) should be avoided to prevent further economic loss.
