ABSTRACT
A
study ofthe Coccidiosis ofpoultry birds was carried out in Ikot Ekpene L.G.A of
Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria from June to September 2011. One hundred and fifty
(150) faecal samples from three privately owned poultry farms were analyzed
using formol ether concentration technique. Out of the 150 faecal samples
examined 97 were infected while 53 were not infected. Among all the species of
Eimeria, the commonest parasite affecting the birds that were confirmed to tire
poultry was Eimeria •\ tenella. However coccidiosis was found only in young
birds (2-7weeks old). The data on coccidiosis ofpoultry birds kept from 2008 -
2011 were received for evaluation and the data revealed that E. tenella was the
most important parasite that caused poultry disease among poultry birds in Ikot
Ekpene L.G.A. Akwa Ibom State.
