Background and Objective: Coccidiosis is caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Eimeria which affects poultry industries worldwide. This study was conducted to comprehend the impact of C. aegyptiaca ethanolic extracts on chicken coccidiosis. Materials and Methods: Six groups of chicks in a complete randomized design were used. Each chick among five groups was orally challenged with 2×104 Eimeria tenella sporulated oocysts. The first three groups received the decoction of C. aegyptiaca orally at 400, 200 and 100 mg kg–1, respectively, while the fourth group received anticox. The fifth group was the negative control. Faecal oocyst counts, zoo-technical parameters, serum levels of aminotransferases, creatinine, uric acid, bilirubin and proteins were evaluated. Antioxidant parameters such as Catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and the level of malondialdehyde in serum were also assessed. Analysis of Variance was performed in one way to analyse data at a 5% level of probability. Results: Oocyst counts showed a significant (p<0.05) reduction rate in all the medicated groups. Zoo-technical parameters, total proteins and albumin contents were significantly higher in the medicated groups. Also, serum levels of ALAT, Creatinine, uric acid, total and direct bilirubin were significantly lower in the medicated chickens. SOD and peroxidases presented significantly lower activities and lower contents of malondialdehyde in the medicated groups than the negative control group in each case. Conclusion: Results from this study could be used for developing phyto elements that can serve as an alternative to synthetic anticoccidial and antioxidant drugs.
