Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of Cylindamycine in saanen goats kids suffering from naturally occuring coccidiosis. 13 kids were found to be suffering from different degrees of coccidiosis. Fecal samples were submitted from all of the diarrheic kids in the goat flock for virological, bacteriological and coccidial examinations. Bacteriogical cultures and flotation examinations of faecal samples were evaluated. In clinical examinations, all kids showed dysentery, tenesmus, inappetence, and weakness. While total per oocyste counts were detected as 675500 opg (per gram oocysts) before the treatment, were detected as low as 24020 opg at end of day 14. Clindamycine applications in addition to managemental measurements may be useful to reduce the oocyst counts and to improve of clinical status.
