The current research study was designed to determine the inclusion of 2% dietary essential coconut oil with and without coccidiosis challenge on performance, carcass characteristics, and intestinal histomorphology in broilers. A total of 560 broiler chicks were divided into 4 groups and then subdivided into 5 replicates. Coconut oil was used at 2% in feed, whereas coccidiosis challenged was introduced using 30,000 oocysts. The other four groups were designated as G1 (without coconut oil and without oocysts), G2 (without coconut oil with oocysts), G3 (with coconut oil without oocysts), and G4 (with coconut oil and with oocysts). The results revealed that the overall feed consumption was significantly (P < 0.01) increased in G1 and G2 than G3 and G4 groups. Overall weight gain was significantly (P < 0.01) higher in G3 compared with all other groups. Significantly (P < 0.01) better feed conversion ratio was recorded at the finisher phase in G3 and G4 groups in comparison with G1 and G2. The villus length, width, and surface area were higher (P < 0.01) in G3 compared with G2. Based on the findings of the present study, it was concluded that the use of 2% coconut oil in broiler feed improved growth performance and villus histology during coccidial challenge.

日粮中添加椰子精油对暴露于禽球虫病的肉鸡生产性能和绒毛组织形态的影响。

当前的研究旨在确定在肉鸡的性能，car体特性和肠道组织形态方面是否含有球虫病挑战的含2％饮食必需椰子油。将总共​​560只肉鸡小鸡分成4组，然后再细分为5个重复。饲料中椰子油的使用率为2％，而球虫病的攻击则采用30,000个卵囊。其他四个组分别命名为G1（无椰子油且无卵囊），G2（无椰子油且无卵囊），G3（有椰子油且无卵囊）和G4（有椰子油且无卵囊）。结果表明，与G3和G4组相比，G1和G2的总饲料消耗量显着增加（P <0.01）。总体体重增加显着（P <0。01）与其他所有组相比，G3的得分更高。与G1和G2相比，G3和G4组在育肥阶段记录的进料转化率显着提高（P <0.01）。与G2相比，G3中的绒毛长度，宽度和表面积更高（P <0.01）。根据本研究的发现，可以得出结论，在球虫攻击过程中，在肉鸡饲料中使用2％椰子油可改善生长性能和绒毛组织学。
