Efficacy Of Lasalocid Against Coccidiosis In Chinese Ring-Necked Pheasants

Significance of Study Results The Chinese ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is raised on farms in many states under conditions similar to the commercial production of poultry and flourishes in the wild as a popular game bird. Young birds are often infected with coccidia, including Eimeria colchici, E. phasiana, E. duodenalis, which cause severe outbreaks of clinical disease. In some cases, mortality and morbidity can be high. Unfortunately, the scientific literature on coccidiosis in game birds and its control by anticoccidial drugs is extremely limited. There is a significant need for diagnostic tools (PCR) to determine which species are responsible for outbreaks, as well as to document the prevalence and dynamics of infections in the field. Based on limited clinical reports, lasalocid is likely to have practical application for ring-necked pheasants. The present tests were conducted to augment previous findings, and to satisfy the efficacy determination required for approval of lasalocid in ring-necked pheasants.
