For the purpose an experiment was conducted in the Department of Parasitology, University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Lahore.
One hundred and sixty (160) day old chicks were divided into 4 groups, i.e. A, B, C and D each consisting of 40 chicks. Group A acted as non-infected and non-medicated control (healthy control), group B was infected with Elmeria tenella sporulated oocysts on day 21 @ 20000 per chick and acted as infected control. Members of Group C were orally administered SCE @ 500mg! kg body weight on day 21 and then challenged with the same dose of E. tenella oocysts. Members of Group D were orally administered SCE at the dose rate of 500mg/kg body weight for three consecutive days and then challenged with the same dose of E. tenella oocysts. The result indicated that maximum reduction of OPG counts (98.73%) occurred in members of group D which were administered SCE (500 mg/kg) for three consecutive days and then challenged with E. tenella oocysts. Group C (Administered SCE for a single day @ 500mg/kg) was placed at no.2 and the reduction in this Group occurred as 83.54% as compared to Group B. Mean body weight gains were calculated by taking difference between average weight records on day 21 & day 35 of age (final weight record). The difference of each group was compared with healthy control and percentage of weight gains of all the groups were recorded and also compared as in table 6. Therefore in terms of Mean body weight gains as compared to control (healthy) Group A, Group D was placed at no.1, Group C at no.2 and Group B which acted as infected and non-medicated was placed at no.3 in terms of body weight gains. These results suggest that SCE have immunostimulating and protective effects against E. tenella infection in broilers.
