Although rhizomes of these herbs are potential alternatives to coccidiostats, their use has not been properly documented. For this purpose, 71 animals harbouring E. arloingi, E. caprina, E. christenseni, E. ninakohlyakimovae and E.alijevi with an overall OPG of above 6000 were randomly selected and divided into 5 groups (group A, group B, group C, group D and group E).Group A (n=15) received turmeric @ 300 mg/kg body weight/day, group B (n= 13) received turmeric @450mg/kg body weight/day, group C (n=15) received ginger @ 300mg/kg body weight, group D (n=13) received ginger@ 450mg/kg body weight, orally for 7 days in each group and group E (n=15) was kept as untreated infected control. Faecal samples from rectum were directly collected on ‘0’ day before treatment and on 8th, 14th, 21st and 28thday afte...
