Abstract
Coccidiosis is widely spread in the growing poultry worldwide and results in the considerable losses for poultry production; therefore, the development of the drugs suppressing the reproduction of coccidial oocysts in poultry and/or improving the productive performance in the invaded poultry is still an urgent task. The study presented was aimed at the assessment of the efficiency of bioactive feed additive OP-1 based on the larvae of black solder fly (Hermetia illucens) in diets for broilers with experimental coccidiosis. The experiment was performed on three treatments of Ross-308 broilers (12 birds per treatment): negative control treatment 1 was not invaded; positive control treatment 2 and treatment 3 at 10 days of age were inoculated with the mixture of Eimeria acervulina and E. tenella (0.5 × 106 oocysts per bird); all treatments were fed standard diet for broilers, the diet for treatment 3 was additionally supplemented with the additive (500 ppm) since 1 day of age. It was found that in treatment 3 the intensity of coccidial reproduction was lower 1.4-fold in compare to treatment 2 while relative bodyweight gain at 20 days of age was higher by 27.1%. Though the anticoccidial effect of the additive was insufficient (elimination efficiency 29.4%) it improved live bodyweight in the invaded birds by 8.5% in compare to invaded control treatment.
