dc.description.abstract | [EN] To evaluate the anticoccidial effect of the Hura crepitans seed, 21 cross-breed lambs, 23 ± 3 kg
live weight (PV) and 70 ± 6 days old, were used. Animals were housed individually in raised wire-mesh
pens, with individual water troughs and feeders. Lambs were randomly divided into three groups
(n = 7) that received different doses of Hura crepitans seeds: 4 g/kg B.W. (group 1), 6 g/kg B.W. (group 2)
and 0 g/kg B.W. (control group or group 0). The treatment was administered at the beginning of
the experiment once orally and the study lasted 21 days. Stool samples were taken for quantitative
analysis of oocysts using the McMaster technique and blood for haematological and biochemical analysis.
Lambs that received the seeds showed a higher excretion of coccidia oocysts between days 5 and 7
after treatment (p < 0.05) due to the antiparasitic effect of these seeds, without affecting their productive
performance (daily feed intake (DFI)- total weight gain (TWG), daily weight gain (DWG)). In addition,
the daily feed consumption (DFC) and dry matter intake (DMI) were similar between the groups. The
analysed enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT and FA) and creatinine showed reference values. Only the urea and
BUN levels were slightly increased, but without statistical difference between the groups. Therefore,
the Hura crepitans seed, at doses of 4 and 6 g/kg, favours the expulsion of coccidial oocysts, without
affecting either the health or the productive behaviour of lambs. | es_ES |
