INTRODUCTION
Poultry products are important economically in the
Filipino table. Improving its production is essential due to
economic demand.
There are problems encountered that caused the egg
and meat production to declined. One of these is caused by
Coccidiosis. This ptozoan parasite live in the Gastro Intestinal
Tract of the avian of any ages and may cause death in
severe condition causing to increase mortality of the flock.
That result to weakening the production.
Using Ethno-veterinary Medicine- Study concluded that
banana root juice can be used as replacement to
commercial coccidiostat.
OBJECTIVES
Our general objective for this study is to compare the
effectiveness of banana root juice in treating coccidiocis.
We are also aiming to;
1. To know the life cycle of coccidia.
2. To know the clinical signs of infected animals.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY
This study is very important to those raisers who is
suffering from this problem. Instead of buying synthetic
medicine for treating coccidia, banana is always available
throughout the years and it could lessen the cost of
treatment for animals which is more beneficial for both
animals and humans.
it is also significant to the backyard raisers who are not
capable of buying commercial drugs.
It could also give information about coccidiocis and its
clinical signs, banana plants and its uses.
REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE
Ethnoveterinary medicine
According to Mathias et al.(1997), much effort is
needed in research and integration of the ethnoveterinary
practices. In many native and local stock raising
communities, considerable proportion of ethno-knowledge
and traditional animal health care practices remain
unknown. While ethnoveterinary practices can lead to their
validation and eventually to better animal health care
provision and enhanced living standard of the rural poor,
there is a notable scarcity of the studies of zootherapy in
ethnoveterinary medicine as cited by Confesor et al. (2009)
BANANA
Doctor Vargas (2013), indicated in his thesis that
banana is often erroneously referred to as a tree, its a large
herb, with succulent, very juicy stem (properly “pseudostem”)
which is cylinder of leaf-petiole sheaths, reaching a height of
20 to 25 feet (6-7.5 m) and arising from a fleshy rhizome. In the
Philippines it is everywhere.
COCCIDIOSIS IN POULTRY
Coccidiosis in poultry is an infestation of the intestines. It
affects weight gain and feed conversion and may cause
death to birds in severe condition.
Coccidiosis is common in chickens, turkeys and
pheasants, less common in geese, and rare in ducks.
The coccidia (the intestinal parasites) of one poultry
species do not cause disease in other species. Coccidia of
sheep will not infect chickens, nor will coccidia of chickens
infect sheep
