Open Fields (Coccidiosis is commonly seen in intensively-reared lambs, causing devastating effects. Good husbandry can play a part in preventing the disease and medical drugs have traditionally been used to control it. In one study, garlic supplements were added to the diet of lambs and this was shown to reduce coccidiosis levels, demonstrating potential benefits in preventing coccidiosis. In the second study, lambs fed a garlic supplement showed improvement in their feed conversion efficiency.)
