In vitro and in vivo effectiveness of essential oils against coccidia in Black Livorno chickens
The obtained findings suggest that while evaluated EO constituents exhibited promising anticoccidial effects in vitro, their in vivo efficacy may be dose-dependent, influenced by infection pressure and host factors. Further research is warranted to optimise tested EOs inclusion levels and assess their long-term impact on coccidiosis control in poultry production systems.
