Extract

For normal development of the parasites, Eimeria acervulina and E. tenella in the chicken, dietary thiamine, riboflavin, biotin, nicotinic acid and folic acid are required. E. acervulina required thiamine for second schizogony and sporulation; riboflavin for first schizogony and possibly gametogony, biotin for the development of the sporozoites/trophozoites and for gametogony, and nicotinic acid for schizogony and gametogony. E. tenella required thiamine and riboflavin for gametogony; biotin for first schizogony; and nicotinic acid for second schizogony.
