Complex drug kenocox against <i>Eimeria</i> spp. oocysts in turkeys

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to test the efficacy of different concentrations of composite Kenocox against Eimeria spp. oocysts in turkeys in a laboratory experiment and under production conditions.Materials and methods. The anti-Eimeria activity of the new composite disinfection agent Kenocox was tested as compared with phenol in two stages. The first laboratory stage used 2, 4 and 6% Kenocox and 4% phenol as the base drug. The second stage used a bioassay with artificial infection of the young turkeys, and a production test was conducted on a poultry farm.Results and discussion. The conducted studies showed 92.96% intense-effectiveness of 2% Kenocox. 4 and 6% Kenocox showed 100% efficacy against sporulated Eimeria spp. oocysts, and the base 4 % phenol provided 74.98% efficacy. During the production test of 4% Kenocox on the turkey farm, 91.7% intense-effectiveness was detected.
