AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the anti-coccidial effects of ethanol extract from Tribuli fructus in 3-day-old chicks, using three groups for comparison: treated with TTE, untreated infected, and non-infected control.
- TTE-treated chicks showed significantly lower counts of oocysts in their stools and greater body weight gains compared to untreated chicks, indicating its effectiveness.
- The findings suggest that Tribuli fructus extract could be a potential treatment for coccidiosis in animals.
Article Abstract
Anti-coccidial effects of the fruits of (Tribuli fructus) ethanol extract (TTE) were studied with animal experiment following per oral administration with (.) . This experiment was performed on the 3-day-old chicks (n=30). The animals were divided with 3 groups; TFE 15mg per animal+infected (n=10), TTE untreated+infected (n=10) and non-infected control (n=10). Animals were administrated with or without TTE during 1 week, and then inoculated with . The anti-coccidial activity were evaluated with oocysts shedding numbers in stools, body weights changes and food intake changes. The TTE-inoclated animals revealed significantly decreased stool oocysts numbers (<0.05) when compared to the TTE untreated animals. Also, TTE-treated animals showed more increased body weight gains (<0.05) than the TTE untreated animals. These results demonstrate that TTE produce anticoccidial activities against . TTE could be a promising treatment for the coccidiosis.

The prevalence of chicken coccidiosis in the poultry industry is a significant concern, further exacerbated by the emergence of drug-resistant coccidia resulting from the indiscriminate use of medications. Ethanamizuril, a novel triazine anti-coccidial compound, has been used to combat drug resistance. Currently, it is known that Ethanamizuril acts on the second-generation merozoites and early gametogenesis stages of Eimeria.

Coccidiosis is the most prevalent disease-causing widespread economic loss among farm and domestic animals. Currently, several drugs are available for the control of this disease but resistance has been confirmed for all of them. There is an urgent need, therefore, for the identification of new sources as alternative treatments to control coccidiosis.

As drug-resistant strains of Eimeria have emerged and concerns about drug residues in poultry have grown, there is renewed interest in identifying natural alternatives to control coccidiosis. Cedrol, a natural sesquiterpene alcohol, was used in this study to test anticoccidial efficacy in chicks. Both the control and treatment groups were orally challenged with 2 × 10 oocysts per chicken.

Entomopathogenic bacteria are obligate symbionts of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species. These bacteria biosynthesize and release non-ribosomal-templated hybrid peptides (NR-AMPs), with strong, and large-spectral antimicrobial potential, capable of inactivating pathogens belonging to different prokaryote, and eukaryote taxa. The cell-free conditioned culture media (CFCM) of and efficiently inactivate poultry pathogens like , , and .
