Résumé

This study was under taken to determine the effect of Ruchamax on coccidiosis and growth performance of broiler chickens in Animal production teaching and research farm during the period of March to May 2020. A
total of 180 day old broiler chicks were randomly divided in to three treatment, in a completely randomized design with 3 replicates containing 20 birds each. The groups were designated T1, T2, and T3 respectively.
Treatment one was administered Ruchamax at the rate of 15g in water, treatment two was given amprolium at
100g and treatment three was served as control. Data collected on weight gain, carcass characteristics, feed
intake, feed conversion ratio, nutrient digestibility and hematological parameters were subjected to analysis of
variance using SPSS statistical software. The result showed that the carcass characteristics, the nutrient
retention and weight gain were not significantly (p>0.05) different. While no significant difference was
observed in hematological indices between the treatment groups. It was concluded that the weekly coccidiosis
result shows the safety and effectiveness of Ruchamax as an anticoccidial agent. The findings of the present study showed that 15g of Ruchamax produced encouraging result in comparison to amprolium in treatment and
prevention of coccidiosis in broiler chickens.
