Coccidiosis is the parasite that damages the intestinal wall of the chickens and other poultry animals. There are varieties of coccidiosis with various effects on birds from harmless to the life threatening one.


Causes
The six species of the causative organism (Eimeria) which are generally significant for chickens are E. tenella, E. mitis, E. brunetti, E. necatrix, E. Acervulina and E. maxima. The life cycle starts as an unsporulated oocyst: an egg containing early stage of coccidiosis which is yet to develop. The oocyst sporulates when eaten by chicken within the time as little as 24 hrs under optimum condition of 25 - 30•C.


Treatment
For the purpose of treatment and prevention of coccidiosis, it is unimportant to ascertain which species of Eimeria is causing disease in your birds as in many cases, several diseases may be working together to cause the disease. The treatment of coccidiosis generally involves three components which are as follows:
1. Kill the coccidiosis in the birds to stop further gut damage by using anticoccidial medication.
2. Control the bacterial disruption of the gut, this is treated by antibiotic therapy.
3. Providing the birds with a warm dry environment, multivitamins and probiotics to restore gut flora.
Prevention is always better than cure. The first important thing is to ensure that the shed is properly cleaned and disinfected to remove and destroy the coccidiosis oocysts. This involves removing the old litter, using a detergent to remove dirt and grease for disinfectant to work and finally using a disinfectant such as Bi-oo-cyst.
