Global research ensuing in an invention for comprehensive control of coccidiosis in poultry
This study deals with a global research data, compiled of eight countries, aimed at replacement of synthetic poultry
coccidiostats by an invented comprehensive dual approach of decontaminating poultry barns by Wide Spectrum
Disinfectant (WSD) and intermittent supplementation of drinking water with natural emulsion of Essential Oil Blend in Water
Extract (EOBWE) of plants. Six trials of this global research were concluded in isolation unit facilities and laboratories, while
the other four trials were performed in the field. The six isolation facility and laboratory trials had different objectives that
included, analyzing the protection methods against coccidiosis by intermittent or continuous administration of EOBWE in
drinking water against controlled challenge by sporulated oocyctes of Eimeria spp., via the mouth or contaminated floors.
Another two objectives were to study the effect of different concentrations of EOBWE and WSD on lysis of Eimeria-oocyctes.
A fourth objective compared the control of coccidiosis in broilers by the invented dual approach of using WSD and EOBWE
versus classical disinfectants and synthetic coccidiostats. The field trials were four. The first compared the dual intervention
by classical disinfectants and synthetic coccidiostat vs. the invented intervention by WSD and EOBWE against controlled
floor contaminated-challenge in broilers by equivalent number of sporulated oocysts of 8 Eimeria spp. The second and third
trials had the same comparison but against field challenge of broilers by Eimeria spp. The fourth trial compared the impact of
synthetic coccidiostat alone vs. concurrent administration of both the synthetic coccidiostat and the EOBWE on protection of
broilers against field challenge by Eimeria spp. The compiled data of this global research resulted in a US patented-invention
of dual method for decontamination of surfaces by WSD and for drinking water supplementation by natural EOBWE, that led
to comprehensive control of coccidiosis in poultry, by significant reduction of oocyctes output and its associated lesions, and
consistent enhancing of the chicken performance.
