Doğal Koksidiostat Olarak Kullanılan Bazı Alternatif Bitki Ekstraktlarının Güvercinlere Etkileri

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, güvercin sürülerinde kullanılan koksidiostatların etkisini belirlemektir. Çalışmada, Pakistan'ın Lahor kentinin farklı bölgelerinden temin edilen 4 aylık 60 adet sağlıklı genç güvercin kullanılmıştır. Güvercinler 15’er adetlik 4 gruba ayrılmıştır (A, B, C, D). Çalışmada, A grubunda neem yaprakları ekstraktının, B grubunda guava yaprakları ekstraktının, C grubunda antikoksidiyal ilacın etkileri koksidiyoz hastalığına karşı karşılaştırılmalı olarak incelenirken, D grubundaki güvercinler ise kontrol grubudur. Araştırmada, enfekte olmayan gruptaki güvercinlerin, tedavi edilen gruplara göre daha iyi (P<0.05) canlı ağırlık artışına sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. A grubundaki güvercinlerin diğer gruplara göre daha iyi canlı ağırlık artışına ve yemden yararlanma oranına sahip oldukları, ancak görülen farkın anlamlı olmadığı tespit edilmiştir (P>0.05). İlave olarak, guava yaprakları ekstraktı verilen gruptaki hastalıklı güvercinlerde sekonder bakteri enfeksiyonları önlenirken, neem yaprakları ekstraktı verilen gruptaki güvercinlerde, bağışıklık düzeyinde önemli ölçüde artış görülmüştür. Bu gruptaki güvercinlerde diğer gruplarla karşılaştırıldığında ookist sayısı daha düşük bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle güvercinlerde neem yaprakları ekstraktı, koksidiyoz tedavisi için ve profilaktik seviyenin arttırılması için önerilebilir.

Effects of Some Alternative Plant Extracts Used as Natural Coccidiostat for Pigeons

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the coccidiostats used in pigeon lofts. A total of 60 disease-free young pigeons of 4 months of age were taken from different areas of Lahore Pakistan and divided into 4 groups A, B, C, and D having 15 birds in each group. The trial was conducted to find out the comparative chemotherapeutic efficacy of extract of leaves of neem in group A, crude extract of leaves of guava in group B, anticoccidial drug in group C, group D remained control group. The results depicted that the birds of non-infected groups had better (P<0.05) weight gain as compared to the treated groups. The pigeons of group A had better weight gain and feed conversion ratio as compared to other groups but the difference between the groups was non-significant (P>0.05). Moreover the crude extract of neem leaves boosted the immunity level of diseased pigeons that resulted in reduction of oocyst count while the crude extract of guava leaves prevented the diseased pigeons from getting secondary bacterial infection. Therefore the crude extract of neem leaves can be recommended for the treatment of coccidiosis and also to enhance the prophylactic levels in pigeons.
