Clinical symptoms, seasonal dynamics and diagnosis of eimeriosis
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents the clinical signs of eimeriosis in farm animals, especially rabbits, the characteristics of the course of the disease, its outcomes and age-related data. The occurrence of the disease in rabbits by season, the results of observations on farms, the classical methods widely used for diagnosing the disease and the order of their implementation are described in sequence. In addition, guidance is given on identifying rabbits affected or unaffected by eimeriosis from their appearance, on taking anamnesis data and on performing palpation. The main information in the article was obtained by analysing literature sources and is presented in a consolidated form.
