Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease frequently encountered in rabbit farms, affecting especially young animals. Influenced by the factors of non-specific aggression, this parasitosis can cause, depending on the location, digestive disorders, weight loss, and hepatomegaly. In large farms, chemoprophylaxis provides protection for rabbits. In households, once diagnosed, a specific treatment is instituted. The veterinarian must evaluate the degree of toxicity, the cost, and the method of administration, but also the risk of blood absorption (in the case of hepatic localization) when it must choose the therapy. Sulfaveridin, Toltrazuril, Diclazuril, Sulfachloropyrazine, Robenidin, and Salinomycin are just a few of the anticoccidials whose effectiveness has been demonstrated, although currently natural products, natural extracts from plants, fungi, and microorganisms, Aloe vera and the unconventional use of liquid paraffin are becoming remarkable in the treatment of coccidiosis in rabbits. The present therapeutic study aimed to test the efficacy of Apinosem forte, a product obtained from natural plant extracts, in treating an experimental group consisting of 80 rabbits naturally infested with Eimeria spp. Coprological, necropsy, and histopathological examinations were performed; the therapeutic protocol was applied and the results were interpreted from a statistical point of view. We recommend Apinosem forte, administered 3 ml/5 l water, in the prevention and combating of coccidiosis in rabbits. It is the first report on the therapeutic results of Apinosem forte used in the prevention and control of this parasitosis in rabbits.References
