Abstract
A floor pen trial using an in-feed coccidia model was conducted to determine the efficacy of salinomycin at the rate of 60 mg/kg of feed and to ascertain any interference of lincomycin at 2.2 mg/kg upon salinomycin efficacy in broiler chickens. Inclusion of salinomycin effectively controlled mortality due to coccidiosis (P < 0.05), and improved mean intestinal lesion score and performance (P < 0.05). Addition of lincomycin to the diet did not interfere with the coccidiostatic properties of salinomycin. Key words: Broiler chickens, coccidiosis, salinomycin, lincomycin
