Abstract
Copper sulfate has been widely used in the poultry industry for the prevention and treatment of moniliasis. During the past few years, the antifungal antibiotic nystatin has been reported to be effective in the prevention of moniliasis in chicks and turkeys (6,7,8). After a review of the disease in poultry of Great Britain, Blaxland and Fincham (1) reported that copper sulfate was not therapeutically beneficial in moniliasis. Underwood et al. (5) administered copper sulfate in the drinking water and feed, and found that it was ineffective for treating or preventing crop mycosis in chicks and poults. This report presents the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of both copper sulfate and nystatin in chicks and poults in which crop mycosis has been experimentally induced with Candida albicans.
