In this study prevalence of chicken coccidiosis in Jammu division were undertaken in both organized and backyard chickens during the year 2010-2011, with an overall prevalence of 39.58 % on examination of 720 faecal samples. Five Eimeria species were identified viz., E. tenella, E. necatrix, E. maxima, E. acervulina and E. mitis. E. tenella was the predominant species in both organized and unorganized farms. The highest prevalence percentage was found in July, 2011 (68.9 %) and the lowest percentage was found in May, 2011 (12.5 %). Coccidial prevalence was found to be 53.61 % in unorganized (backyard poultry birds) as compared to organized birds (25.55 %). Maximum positive cases of coccidian infection was found in monsoon season (60.55 %) and least in summer season (21.66 %). Birds of age 31-45 days showed more prevalence percentage (58.86 %). Higher oocysts count was recorded from July to September with a peak value (38973.00 ± 3075.6) in July and lowest (12914.00 ± 595.48) in the month of May.
在本研究中,于2010 - 2011年对查谟地区的规模化养殖鸡和后院鸡进行了鸡球虫病患病率调查。在检查的720份粪便样本中,总体患病率为39.58%。鉴定出了5种艾美耳球虫,即柔嫩艾美耳球虫、毒害艾美耳球虫、巨型艾美耳球虫、堆型艾美耳球虫和微小艾美耳球虫。柔嫩艾美耳球虫是规模化养殖场和非规模化养殖场中的优势种类。患病率最高的是2011年7月(68.9%),最低的是2011年5月(12.5%)。非规模化养殖(后院家禽)的球虫病患病率为53.61%,相比之下规模化养殖鸡的患病率为25.55%。球虫感染的阳性病例数在季风季节最多(60.55%),在夏季最少(21.66%)。31 - 45日龄的鸡患病率更高(58.86%)。7月至9月记录到的卵囊数更高,7月达到峰值(38973.00 ± 3075.6),5月最低(12914.00 ± 595.48)。
