title: Efficacy of salinomycin and stenorol against various species of Eimeria and effect on chick performance.
abstract: Three experiments were designed to test the efficacy of salinomycin and stenorol against infection by various Eimeria species on cage reared broiler type chicks. Efficacy was based on a coccidial index. Sixty parts per million salinomycin alone or in combination with 50 ppm 3 nitro significantly improved the index over basal treatments or when 3 nitro was used alone. The differences in index values recorded for coban and salinomycin were not significant. Stenorol significantly improved the index and appeared to be a most effective anticoccidial product. Broiler chickens reared in floor pens to 8 weeks showed a significant reduction in weight gain when the diet contained salinomycin +3 nitro or coban. Stenorol at 3, 6, or 9 ppm reduced body weight, with linear regression for this effect being highly significant (P less than .01). No coccidiosis was observed.
