Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Probiotics on Coccidia, H. Contortus and Markers of Infection in GoatsKwaku Barima Gyenai, Mulumebet Worku, Mehrdad Tajkarimi, Salam IbrahimImmunostimulants can induce nonspecific resistance against parasites. The use of probiotics to control development of animal gastrointestinal parasites could help reduce the risks of infestation. In this study, we investigated the effects of probiotics administration on gastrointestinal parasites coccidia, H. contortus and markers of infection. A cocktail of probiotics mix including Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus reuteri and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2016 · 9,028 accessesView PDF Cite
