Use of an enzyme for manufacturing an agent for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of coccidiosis

摘要

The present invention provides the use of a carbohydrase and/or a protease for the manufacture of an agent for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of coccidiosis. The agent can be in the form of a cereal-based animal feed. The carbohydrase may be a polysaccharidase such as a xylanase or a cellulase e.g. beta -glucanase. The agent may optionally include conventional non-enzymic anticoccidial agents.
