Caecal coccidiosis is disease of poultry which is caused by the Eimeria tenella (family of protozoan belongs to genus Eimeria). This is most prevalent ailment and results in decrease production and high death rates in broiler chicks. Extensive use of drugs as preventive therapy has created antimicrobial resistance. Poultry experts are thinking about the use of herbal plants and their combinations for the control of Coccidiosis in commercial poultry as alternatives. Holarrhena Antidysenterica and Azadirachta indica were reported to have anthelmintic, antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral activity. A total of 270 broiler chicks were equally divided into nine group from A to I. they were experimentally infected with a challenge of Eimeria tenella from group A to H. Group A to G were treated with poly herbal preparations and a routinely used drug. Group H was positive control but group I was negative control. Birds were observed for live body weight, hematological parameters and structural changes in cecum. Birds of group G and H showed highest (P<0.05) body weights, RBC, Hb and PCV as compared to positive control group. It was concluded that poly herbal mixture showed more anticoccidial effects to control this problem as compared to routine therapeutic drugs and hence they can be used as alternatives.
