Abstract

Study on coccidiosis conducted in rabbits in Thrissur revealed subclinical form of coccidiosis as more prevalent in commercial rabbitries while traditionally reared rabbits suffer from clinical disease. Intestinal coccidiosis is manifested by diarrhoea, soiled fur and loss of condition with 35,000 - 70,000 number of oocysts per gram of faeces. Histopathological studies revealed characteristic lesions of coccidiosis.
