Avian coccidiosis is a major parasitic disorder in chickens resulting from the intracellular apicomplexan protozoa Eimeria that target the intestinal tract leading to a devastating disease. Eimeria life cycle is complex and consists of intra- and extracellular stages inducing a potent inflammatory response that results in tissue damage associated with oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, diarrheal hemorrhage, poor growth, increased susceptibility to other disease agents, and in severe cases, mortality. Various anticoccidial drugs and vaccines have been used to prevent and control this disorder; however, many drawbacks have been reported. Drug residues concerning the consumers have directed research toward natural, safe, and effective alternative compounds. Phytochemical/herbal medicine is one of these natural alternatives to anticoccidial drugs, which is considered an attractive way to combat coccidiosis in compliance with the “anticoccidial chemical-free” regulations. The anticoccidial properties of several natural herbal products (or their extracts) have been reported. The effect of herbal additives on avian coccidiosis is based on diminishing the oocyst output through inhibition or impairment of the invasion, replication, and development of Eimeria species in the gut tissues of chickens; lowering oocyst counts due to the presence of phenolic compounds in herbal extracts which reacts with cytoplasmic membranes causing coccidial cell death; ameliorating the degree of intestinal lipid peroxidation; facilitating the repair of epithelial injuries; and decreasing the intestinal permeability induced by Eimeria species through the upregulation of epithelial turnover. This current review highlights the anticoccidial activity of several herbal products, and their other beneficial effects.

In the present study, a total of 1667 sera samples were collected from breeder, broiler and layer birds to determine sero-prevalence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), Mycoplasma synoviae (MS), Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarium (SPG) infections. Serum Plate Agglutination (SPA) test was used to determine the presence of antibodies against commercial MG, MS and SPG antigens. The overall sero-prevalence of MG, MS and SPG in case of broilers was 7.14, 10 and 5.35%, in the layer birds was 44.9, 42.6 and 51.32% and in broiler breeders was 59.6, 50.13 and 44.1% respectively. The study shows that seroprevalence of MG and MS was higher in breeder as compared to that of layers and broilers. However, for SPG the prevalence was found highest in layers. The seroprevalence of MG was higher in female birds while of MS and SPG higher in males. The highest prevalence for all pathogens was found in the period from October to December.

“…Among all tested Eimeria species V. vinifera extract at higher dose significantly reduced sporulation process and damaged occysts of E. tenella and E. necatrix. Oocysts of four Eimeria species (E. tenella, E. necatrix, E. brunetti and E. mitis) were differentiated on the basis of their morphology follwing method as decribed Abbas et al (2019b). Photomicrographs of normal Eimeria oocysts and damaged Eimeria oocysts by V. vinifera extract in terms shape and wall are shown in Figure 3.…”

“…They concluded that commonly used disinfectants such as formalin and ethanol (70%) are the most effective in inhibition of sporulation process of different Eimeria species. Abbas et al (2019b) has reported in vitro anticoccidial effects of Trachsypermum ammi extract on oocysts of four Eimeria species of chickens. T. ammi inhibited sporulation of Eimeria oocysts and also damaged them.…”
