Abstract
Coccidiosis is economically important disorder of poultry, caused by parasite belonging to genus Eimeria, present all over the world and pervasive under conventional farming system. Seven species of genus Eimeria that are affecting poultry industry are: E. maxima, E, acervulina, E. hagani, E. burnetti and E. tenella are oval while E. necatrix. Cross sectional study was conducted on coccidiosis in tehsil Attock to determine prevalence of the coccidiosis. Four hundred fecal samples were collected from poultry farms. Oocysts in fecal sample were determined with direct smear method, floatation method and McMaster counting technique. Overall prevalence was 17.75%. Four distinct species of Eimeria were identified from Attock i.e. E. tenella, E. maxima, E. acervulina, E. necatrix. Out of 400 samples 14 were positive with E. tenella (3.5%), 9 samples are of E. maxima (2.3%), 8 samples are of E. acervulina (2%) and 5 samples are positive with E. necatrix (1.3%). 14 samples contain mixture of E. tenella, E. maxima, E. acervulina and E. necatrix (3.5%). Mixture of E. tenella, E. maxima and E. acervulina species were found in 3 samples (0.8%). 2 samples are positive with mixture of E. maxima, E. acervulina and E. necatrix (0.5%). Mixture of E. tenella, E. maxima and E. necatrix were 7 in 6 samples (1.6%). 4 samples (1%) are positive with mixture of E. tenella and E. necatrix. 3 samples have mixture of E. tenella and E. maxima (0.8%). 0.3% prevalence of mixture of (E. maxima, E. necatrix), (E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. necatrix) and E. maxima, E. acervulina respectively. The study has made clear that E. tenella is most prevalent species in the area followed by E. maxima, E. necatrix and E. acervulina in the study area.
