Anti-coccidial activity of the ethanol extract of Tribulus terrestris fruits on Eimeria tenella
Abstract Anti-coccidial effects of the fruits of Tribulus terrestris (Tribuli fructus) ethanol extract (TTE) were studied with animal experiment following per oral administration with Eimeria (E.) tenella. This experiment was performed on the 3-day-old chicks (n=30). The animals were divided with 3...
