Infections with single species of Eimeria acervulina, E. mivati, E. maxima, E. tenella, E. necatrix and E. brunetti, and the 6 species mixed, were utilized in 3 separate battery experiments to evaluate the anticoccidial efficacy of various levels of salinomycin (AHR-3096), a fermentation product of a strain of Streptomyces albus. At the 60-100 ppm treatment levels, this compound showed significant anticoccidial activity for all parameters studied (mortality, weight gain, feed conversion, dropping scores and lesion scores). The mortality due to coccidiosis was reduced to 0.1% in the medicated infected birds. Some activity, as measured by weight gain, was seen in the lower levels of salinomycin medication (12.5-50 ppm) but other parameters, including mortality and lesion scores, indicated less activity than that seen with the higher treatment levels. At 100 ppm, there was no apparent effect of the compound on bird performance in unifected control birds. Salinomycin at the 100 ppm treatment level was statistically as effective as 121 ppm monensin (reference anticoccidial) in controlling coccidiosis.
