Young chicks had the highest proportion of infestation while those more than 9 weeks old had no oocysts at all in their faeces. These coccidia may be considered non pathogenic since the infected chicks grew normally without any evidence of diarrhoea.en© ARC-Onderstepoort (original). © University of Pretoria.
