For this study, 240 one-day-old broiler chicken were used to test the anti-coccidial efficacy of a herbal drug Coxigon (R) compared with a chemical synthetic Diclazuril (R) against Coccidiosis in broilers. These birds were divided into six groups (A, B, C, D, E, F) of forty birds each. There were six treatments, non-infected non-medicated (A), infected non-medicated (B), infected and medicated with Coxigon (R) at 3 g/l kg of feed (C) infected and medicated with Diclazuril (R) at 0.20 g/l kg of feed (D), noninfected but treated with Coxigon (R) at 3 g/50 kg of feed (E), and non-infected but treated with Diclazuril (R) (F) at 0.20 g/l kg of feed. Groups B, C, and D were given a challenge dose of coccidial oocysts at the age of 22 days. Weight gain, feed consumption, oocysts count in the faeces, clinical findings and mortality were recorded. The mean values of birds feed intake during experimental period (0-6 weeks) were 3770.4, 3206.5, 3493.3, 3333.3, 3751.5 and 3764.1 g for the groups A, B, C, D, E and F, respectively. The results revealed that the birds of group E had better (P<0.05) weight gain (g) as compared to other groups. Moreover, Coxigon (R) at 3 g/l kg of feed (C) had excellent performance in terms of oocysts count (31700/g feaces) and lower mortality as compared with Diclazuril (R) (D).
