Abstract

Treatment trials against rabbit coccidiosis was carried out with three anticoccidial drugs namely sulphadimidine sodium, furazolidone and metronidazole. Each drug was administered orally to ten animals. The mean clearance efficacy of the three drugs were 99.68 percent, 85.48 percent and 69.92 percent, respectively. Sulphadimidine was found to be the most effective anticoccidial which can be used in rabbits.
