Abstract

Phytoterapic prophylaxis on coccidiosisin rabbits reared on straw litterThe main objective of the present paperwas to evaluate the effects of aphytoterapic prophylaxis on coccidiosisin rabbits reared in pen, onstraw litter. For this, 180 animals,31 days old, were divided in three experimentalgroups of sixty each.Before the beginning of the assay, aprophylactic treatment was providedto the animals for 7 days. The T1group’s rabbits received a phytoterapictreatment composed by vegetableextracts (China and Colocynthis).The T2 group’s rabbits receiveda pharmacological treatmentcomposed by trimethoprim and sodiumsulphadymetoxin. The T3 groupwas the control. The used productswere dissolved in the drinking water.All the animals were housed in squarepens (cm100x100x70h) and received,ad libitum, water and a commercialpelleted feed. Faecal materialwas collected weekly from fiverabbit per replicate and then thenumber and the species of oocystsoutput by hard faeces was determined.The results confirmed the that Eimeriamedia, E. perforans and E. magnawere the species more frequently detectedin Italian rabbitry. The processof oocysts output by hard faecesremained unchanged in the twogroups. Independently from treatments,the level of infestation didn’toccur any enteric pathology due tococcidia.The prophylactic treatments didn’taffect the rabbit performances ormortality rate and the observed differencesbetween males and femaleswere an expression of normalityvariation by sex. Neither the housingsystem on straw litter modified themeat palatability.Further studies are necessary to determinethe efficacy of the phytoterapictreatment tested in this researchand, more in general, of thoseused in veterinary medicine.[...]
