| Popis: | Infection with Eimeria acervulina, Eimeria brunetti, or Eimeria tenella affected the composition of the breast, thigh, heart, and liver of 3 or 4-week-old broilers. Liver glycogen was significantly increased at 6 and 8 days postinoculation (PI) with E. acervulina. Conversely, liver glycogen was decreased at 4 and 6 days PI with E. tenella and was unaffected by infection with E. brunetti. The levels of RNA and lipid in the liver were decreased with E. acervulina but unchanged with E. tenella. Both species decreased RNA levels in the breast. None of the three coccidial species had any effect on the moisture, ash, protein, or DNA content of the tissues. |
