With soluble antigens prepared from sporulated oocysts
of E. tenella, a sensitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was
developed to survey broiler chickens` sera related to 20 broiler flocks
for coccidiosis. Sera were taken at random from non-vaccinated 6 and 7
week-old-broiler chickens against coccidiosis. All flocks had not natural
outbreak of coccidiosis and some of them had history of prophylactic in-feed
medication with currently-used coccidiostates. All sera had absorbance
values very above the detection level. There was no significant difference
between prophylactic in-feed medicated groups to non-medicated groups. PDFFulltextXMLReferencesCitation
