For prevalence a total of 300 pigeons were examined from pigeon shops and houses of pigeon owners. The faecal samples were examined by direct method. Out of these, 4Q% cases were found to be positive, whereas 54% cases were found to be negative. The highest rate of infection was Ein-ieria colunibarum during the months of July and August.
Sixty young pigeons were obtained and reared under coccidia free conditions and provided coccidiostat free feed. The pigeons were randomly divided into four groups comprising of 15 birds in each (A, B, C and 0).
Group A was infected and medicated with furoxone. Group B was infected and medicated with sulphadimidine. Group C was infected but non-medicated and group D was noninfected, non-medicated (control).
The clinical symptoms were more pronounced in group C and in those birds which were treated with sulphadimidine. The mortality rate was low and OPG was less at 8th day of medication in group A than other experimental groups.
Haemoglobin (Hb) estimation was done. Group A showed highest Hb value (11.054) at day 8th of medication, _which is very closed to value of group D (control) (11.190), which was treated with furoxone.
It is evident from the results and can be estimated that the leukocytic count rate of group A increased from the day of infection, reached maximum 35700 per ml and then started decreasing to normal.
The differential leukocytic count, lymphocytes decreased while heterophils and monocytes increased and eosinophils and basophils showed variation in their number as compared to control group.
The results of the present study indicate that furoxone is better drug than sulphadimidine for control of experimentally induced coccidiosis in pigeons.
