| Abstract | ||||
| Three hundred brown and white Japanese quail (16 weeks old) were used to study the efficacy of some anticoccidial agents against natural infection of quail coccidiosis as well as the breed difference in susceptibility and response to medication. Identification of Eimeria species was done, E.uaura and E. bahli oocysts were investigated during examination of litter, faecal specimens as well as caecal scrapings of the freshly dead quail. Natural quail coccidiosis in this case lead to 8.33% mortality and 4.7% drop in egg production as well as loss of weight gains (7%). Under the conditions of the present work and according to the paraseters used for judgement, the stated drugs could be arranged in the order of their efficacy on natural infection of the investigated birds with Eimeria organisms as follow: Sulphaquinoxaline (S Q), Salinoaycine, Robendine and Lasalocid. Quail strains and sex had no significant influence (p < 0.05) on mortality percentage or oocyst counts of Eimeria. | ||||
