Complex drug kenocox against Eimeria spp. oocysts in turkeys

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to test the efficacy of different concentrations of composite Kenocox against Eimeria spp. oocysts in turkeys in a laboratory experiment and under production conditions.Materials and methods. The anti-Eimeria activity of the new composite disinfection agent Kenocox was tested as compared with phenol in two stages. The first laboratory stage used 2, 4 and 6% Kenocox and 4% phenol as the base drug. The second stage used a bioassay with artificial infection of the young turkeys, and a production test was conducted on a poultry farm.Results and discussion. The conducted studies showed 92.96% intense-effectiveness of 2% Kenocox. 4 and 6% Kenocox showed 100% efficacy against sporulated Eimeria spp. oocysts, and the base 4 % phenol provided 74.98% efficacy. During the production test of 4% Kenocox on the turkey farm, 91.7% intense-effectiveness was detected.
