Previously an experimental infection model was developed in which broiler chickens were inoculated with sporulated Eimeria acervulina oocysts at an age of 18 d. The infection resulted in adverse performance results and reduced nutrient digestion, In two new experiments with the infection model effects of diet adjustments on fat digestion were investigated, In the first experiment addition of 0.4 g cholic acid/kg to a diet rich in animal fat resulted in increased fat digestion during the infection, In the second experiment replacing animal fat by coconut oil resulted in improved fat digestion during the coccidiosis infection, However, replacement of animal fat by soyabean oil did not improve fat digestion.
