| Abstract: This study was done in one field of chicken to conducted the effect of crushed and water extract of punica shell on pH of different parts of digestive system in boiler chicken, type Harberd as treatment of Coccidiosis.300 chick feed on same based diet without anticoccidial. the chick divided into three groups, at 8days of age the 1st group was given crushed of punica shell with meal by concentration of 0.0062 while the second group was given with drinking water extract of substance with same concentration, and the third group left as control group. the clinical sign was observed to insure that there were no natural infection. then the following parameter was done %mortality, lesion score and packed cell volume, total white blood cell, fecal examination of oocysts count, body weight gain, percent of protection calculated and the pH of different part of digestive system. all groups of experiment were challenged at 22 days of age with 50000 mixed live virulent sporulated oocysts of Eimeria(challenged infection). The clinical signs observed during first week of infection and at 28days of age. all parameter above were done. The result of experiment pointed out that the chick which given the crushed and water extract of punica shell develop resistant against Eimeria species by reduced mortality rate, lesion score, clinical signs, oocysts count, pH of digestive system and elevation of packed cell volume, white blood cell and percent of protection while the weight gain was not affected. | ||
