Coccidiosis of domestic animals has been studied extensively
but not in an equal degree in all species. Chicken coccidiosis, for
example, has been studied a great deal, while coccidiosis in cattle,
sheep and goats has received very little attention.
For a long time many authors have written about the danger
of coccidiosis in sheep and goats I, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, ıı, 13, 14. According to
several 'of them 9, 16, 20 mortality in lambs and kids from coccidiosis
is 10 % to go % .In Turkey coccidiosis is wide spread among
Angora goats, especially among the young' animals, in which it
causes emaciation, stunding and even death 17. Little work has
been done on the coccidiosis in Angora goats up to present time.
This indicates that the coccidia and the disease they cause need
to be studied in detai!.
