Since all effective prophylactic and therapeutic drugs against histomoniasis were banned in the EU, under given conditions the investigated herbal product seems to be an effective alternative for the reduction of mortality in turkeys caused by histomoniasis.
The parasite DNA was also detected in duodenum, jejuno-ileum, spleen, heart, lungs, and brain samples. Between d 0 and 19, a group of 4 turkeys was killed and autopsied meeleagridis 3 d.
