Three parameters, body weight gain (BWG), intestinal lesion score (LS) and fecal oocyst shedding, were compared in broilers infected with major parasitic species; Eimeria acervulina, E. maxima, tenella. First, two- three-week-old chickens infection showed LS of approximately 3, but two-week-old more correlated BWG. Second, significant differences BWG observed between male female challenged Eimeria. Finally, maxima-infected among three species a higher relationship LS, suggesting considerations such as genders, age for experiments.
