title: [The modified Johnson-Reid method--a practice model for coccidiosis monitoring in the fattening of young fowl?].
abstract: Models of coccidiosis-monitoring known from literature are described. A suitable alternative of determining the coccidia status in a broiler population is the "modified Johnson-Reid method". This method makes a standardization of diagnostic finding and evaluation possible as well as a differentiated intestinal localization and the determination of coccidia incidence severity. In addition to the microscopic screening of the caecum contents--as described by Johnson-Reid--it appears necessary to take also swabs from parts of the duodenum and jejunum (near the Meckel's diverticulum). Subsequently this method is an important help for veterinarians working with broiler production, for diagnostic institutions as well as producers of anticoccidial agents, especially in regard to its documentation rate and the resulting consequences. In this way other diagnostic efficiency data in broiler production are significantly completed.
