Métodos de tratamiento para la coccidiosis en aves.

Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to study treatment methods for coccidiosis in birds. The search for bibliographic information was based on the collection of information from scientific articles, research works, consulting in: virtual libraries of Livestock Sciences Faculty of Escuela Superior Politécnica of Chimborazo and in the DSpace of the different National Universities (DSpace U Cuenca, DSpace ESPOCH, DSpace UNL, DSpace UEB, reposit foreign (DSpace UNITRU, UNALM repository, UES Web of Science repository, Dialnet and scientific journals such as: Orinoquia, Zootechnics Archives and Latin American Archives of Animal Production. The topics of treatment methods for coccidiosis in birds were reviewed, in which information on this disease in commercial laying hens and broiler chichens of how it influences production was taken as a reference. This parasitic disease is caused by protozoa that inhabits the small intestine and affects broilers and laying which represents a substantial economic loss is why if proper treatment is not given the disease can multiply and infect the rest of the birds, which increases rapidly. In the methods to control coccidiosis in birds as a first alternative is with probiotics which helps to reduce the presence of microscopic lesions in the intestine and thus have a weight gain, in addition to using an anticoccidia of natural origin based on saponins that decreases the production of oocysts leading to improve production parameters. It is concluded that the method to control the disease is with probiotic since it is very efficient to improve the productive parameters. Finally, it is advisable to implement biosecurity standards by disinfecting the area and having good ventilation of the warehouse.
