Effect of Substituting Polyether Ionophore Anticoccidial Drugs With 1, 8-Cineole for the Control of Eimeria Infections in Broilers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coccidiosis is an important parasitic disease of broiler chickens. Drug resistance to the polyether polyether Ionophore anticoccidial drugs  (PACDs) caused by long-term use has emerged as a significant problem in commercial broiler chicken production.

Objectives

This study explored the feasibility of 1,8-cineole (CIN) in replacing PACD with broiler feeding experiments and intestinal microecological experiments.

Methods

This experiment selected 21-day-old Lingnan yellow (LNY) broilers and randomly divided them into 8 groups, with 30 chickens in each group. They were uniformly fed with full feed during the breeding period. The experimental groups were as follows: (i) three broiler groups that were fed a PACD supplementation (G1: Salinomycin Premix [SAP] 60 mg
