The efficacy of the drug Solycox combined with Chiktonik against eimeriosis of broiler chickens

Abstract

The purpose of the research is efficacy evaluation of the anticoccidial drug Solycox combined with the feed additive Chiktonik against avian eimeriosis.Materials and methods. The experiments were carried out on the Makhachkalinskaya poultry farm, which was contaminated with eimeriosis, on healthy 1 day old Ross-308 broilers. Two groups were formed from the selected chickens, test and control, 50 birds each. From the first day of life, broiler chickens from the test group were administered Solycox at a dose of 2 ml per 1 liter of drinking water combined with the feed additive Chiktonik at the rate of 1 ml per 1 liter of drinking water. The control chickens were not prescribed any anticoccidial drug or feed additive.Results and discussion. We established high efficacy of Solycox combined with Chiktonik against eimeriosis of broiler chickens (96%). Solycox combined with Chiktonik contributes to the poultry viability and resistance to the disease, and has a positive effect on productivity. The results of the studies allow us to recommend Solycox and Chiktonik to prevent and treat eimeriosis of broiler chickens.
