Technologies to control coccidiosis

Dear Kasame Trakullerswilai,

Since while ago we had proposed propose maslinic acid, found in the leaves and fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea L.), as a new natural coccidiostatic product against Eimeria tenella. Its action in infected animals has been compared with animals treated with sodium salinomycin. The lesion index (LS), the oocyst index (OI) and the anticoccidial index (ACI) were studied with regard to the weight of the chicks. The ACI for maslinic acid was 210.27 and for sodium salinomycin 173.09. Similarly, both LS and OI decreased in the groups treated with maslinic acid. A considerable increase in weight was found in the chicks treated with maslinic acid compared with those in the control group. Histopathological studies of the caecum at 120 h post-infection showed that the infection rate decreased significantly in chicks treated with maslinic acid.

If you request more information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
Miguel.

Miguel A Pérez,

Thanks for your suggestion.
What happens for acervulina and maxima? 
And is there any interfering effect if using coccidia vaccine?

Kasame Trakullerswilai

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, we don't have any study done about Eimeria acervulina (upper half of the small intestine), and E. maxima (lower half of the small intestine).

It does not have any effect against coccidia vaccine. In my humble opinion, I will say the maslinic acid potentiates the vaccine.

If you want to make some trial at your facilities in Thailand, happy to continue our talk by email.

Best Regards,
Miguel.
