“…in which 10 species may invade the digestive tract and 1 species may invade the liver (Pakandl, 2009). Coccidiosis is associated with anorexia, decreased feed intake and feed utilization, anemia, dehydration, and diarrhea (Abbas et al, 2010;Srinivasan et al, 2015) The anticoccidiosis drug in rabbits is a relatively inexpensive medicine. However, there are several weaknesses, such as the fecal excretion which still may pollute the environment, especially when utilized as a fertilizer.…”

This research aimed to examine the potential of garlic as the coccidiosis control in rabbits either in vitro or in vivo. During in vitro, observed variables were rabbits oocysts that were sporulated, unsporulated, and abnormal in incubation for 3 days with the addition of garlic extract. The treatments were doses of garlic extract administration (0%, 1%, 2%, 4%, and 8%) and sulfaquinoxalline as a standard anticoccidiosis. Meanwhile during in vivo, the variables observed were the hematological profile of the experimental rabbits naturally infected with coccidia. The doses of garlic extract was administered orally to the experimental rabbits infected with coccidia were 0 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg/ rabbit. As a standard coccidiosis drugs, the combination of sulfadiazine and trimethoprim was used. The treatments were given for 6 days. The variables observed were the hematological profile of the coccidiosis rabbits, including the erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrits, MCV, MCH, MCHC, and thrombocytes. The research employed a completely randomized design, with 5 repetitions. The data were further analyzed using the honestly significant difference test. The results showed that garlic extract administration significantly decreased (P<0.01) both the number of the sporulated and unsporulated oocysts (P<0.05), yet did not significantly influence the abnormal oocysts, but there was no significant difference within the entire hematological variables except in thrombocytes (P<0.05). Garlic extract administration decreased the excretion number of oocysts in the feces either in vitro or in vivo and influenced some hematological variables which provided a new propect for controlling coccidiosis naturally in rabbits.Keywords: coccidia, rabbits, garlic extract, oocyst, hematology ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji potensi bawang putih sebagai anti koksidiosis pada kelinci secara in vitro dan in vivo. Secara in vitro, peubah yang diamati adalah ookista kelinci yang bersporulasi, tidak bersporulasi, dan abnormal pada inkubasi selama 3 hari dengan penambahan ekstrak bawang putih. Perlakuan yang digunakan adalah 0%, 1%, 2%, 4%, dan 8% bawang putih, serta penggunaan sulfaquinoxalline sebagai obat standar koksidiosis. Pada penelitian in vivo, peubah yang diamati adalah profil hematologi kelinci yang terinfeksi koksidia secara alami. Ekstrak bawang putih diberikan secara per oral pada kelinci yang terinfeksi koksidia sebesar 0 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, dan 80 mg/ekor, serta kombinasi sulfadiazin dan trimethoprim sebagai obat standar koksidiosis. Perlakuan diberikan selama 6 hari. Peubah yang diamati adalah profil darah kelinci koksidiosis yang meliputi sel darah merah (eritrosit), hemoglobin (Hb), hematokrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, dan trombosit. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap (RAL), dengan pengulangan sebanyak 5 kali. Analisis data menggunakan analisis variansi dengan uji lanjut beda nyata jujur (BNJ). Hasil analisis varians menunjukkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak bawang putih berpengaruh sangat ...

“…Due to their natural origin, lack of a grace period, wide dosage range, and many qualities such antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, antihelminthic, anti-stress properties, effects like gut microflora manipulation, stimulation of appetite, feed intake and secretion of endogenous digestive enzymes, immune enhancement, and nutrigenomic activity, plant extracts are considered factors that can support both the performance and health status of animals (Hashemi and Davoodi, 2011;Rahimi et al, 2011). Within this context many plants and herbal compounds are being studied for the control of coccidiosis (Youn and Noh, 2001;Naidoo et al, 2008;Chandrakesan et al, 2009;Abbas et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2010;Haq et al, 2011).…”

“…Consequently, there is great interest in the development of alternative methods for the prevention of coccidiosis. In this context, a number of plants and herbal products have been tested for their anticoccidial properties (Youn and Noh, 2001;Chandrakesan et al, 2009;Abbas et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2010;Haq et al, 2011).…”

The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the anticoccidial efficacy of supplementing feeds with herbal extract blend containing garlic (Allium sativum), sage (Salvia officinalis), echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and oregano (Origanum vulgare) extracts in broiler chickens experimentally infected with 170.000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria acervulina, E. tenella, E. maxima and E. necatrix at 12 days of age. A total of 280 Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated into 5 groups with 7 replicates of 8 chickens per replicate. The experimental dietary treatments were formulated by supplementing the basal maize-soyabean meal diet. The experimental design allocated the groups as follows: 1. uninfected birds and an unsupplemented diet; 2. uninfected birds and the diet supplemented with the herbal extract blend at a level of 1 g/kg feed (200 mg of each herbal extract/kg); 3. infected birds and an unsupplemented diet; 4. infected birds and a diet with the addition of coccidiostat diclazuril at a level of 1 mg/kg feed; and 5. infected birds and a diet supplemented with the herbal extract blend at a level of 1 g/kg feed (200 mg of each herbal extract/kg). Throughout the 42 days of the experimental period, performance parameters, mortality, lesion score, oocyst output, and serum carotenoid concentration were recorded. Dietary supplementation with the herbal extract blend increased growth performance to the level found in the group fed the coccidiostat and in the non-challenged groups. The number of oocysts per gram of excreta did not differ significantly between the groups fed the herbal extract blend and the group receiving the coccidiostatic supplement. The herbal extract blend had no effect on mortality, lesion score, with the exception of the duodenum, or blood carotenoid concentration.
