- Abstract
The current in vitro study aimed to investigate the effects of a processed sugarcane extract on the viability of avian Eimeria sporozoites. Treatments were applied to hatched sporozoites: 1) without additives (no-treatment control); 2) with ethanol; 3) with salinomycin; 4) with Polygain™. All treatments were incubated in RPMI media containing live sporozoites at 37 °C for 14 h and then the number of viable sporozoites were counted. Compared to the no-treatment control, Polygain™ decreased (P < 0.001) the counts of E. maxima , E. acervulina , E. bruneti , and E. mitis sporozoites to a level similar to salinomycin (P > 0.05). In conclusion , Polygain™ could be a potential candidate as an anticoccidial agent. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
