Abstract | Coccidiosis remains one of the main diseases affecting performance in poultry. This work
was aimed at evaluating the efficacy of an ethanolic leaf extract of Carica papaya with regard to
growth, parasitological and haematological parameters in Eimeria-infected KABIR chickens. Fresh
leaves were harvested, dried in gentle heat, ground and sieved powder was used to prepare the ethanolic
extract. Chickens were infected with 3200 Eimeria oocysts until they began shedding oocysts
in their faeces. The ethanolic extract was administered at doses of 0.32g/chicken/day (T1), 0.80 g/
chicken/day (T2) and 1.44 g/chicken/day (T3), directly into the chickens’ mouths. Chickens of T4
received a standard anti-coccidial drugs if used before the threshold level of parasitic infection.
