Plant Parts and Extracts Having Anticoccidial Activity

摘要

Natural plant parts and extracts of plants selected from the group consisting of Quercus infectoria, Rhus chinensis and Terminalia chebula containing compounds such as gallic acid, derivative of gallic acid, gallotannins and hydrolysable tannins have been found to control coccidiosis in poultry and, more specifically, coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp. The plant parts and natural extracts result in a reduction of lesion score, oocysts per gram of fecal matter and mortality.
