      abstract = {A cross sectional study was conducted within Bauchi metropolis with the aim of determining the prevalence of poultry coccidiosis, associated risk factors and the different species of Eimeria among exotic breed of chickens. A total of 384 fecal samples which were randomly collected from live bird as fresh droppings or cutting open the intestine of slaughtered bird were examined consisting of 205 female and 179 male birds, 132 young and 252 adult birds, 231 broiler and 153 layer birds. The samples collected were subjected to simple floatation technique for qualitative studies. The different species of Eimeria were identified based on the shape and size of the oocyst. The overall prevalence rate was 26.9% (103/384). Higher prevalence rates of 30.3%, 34.8% and 33.2% was recorded in broiler, young, and female birds respectively. Ameerah farm recorded the highest prevalence rate from the various sampling sites (55.0%). A statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was observed among the breeds, age group and sampling sites. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the infection rate recorded in sex. Four species of Eimeria were identified (Eimeria tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina and E. maxima) with E. tenella having the highest infection rate (29.1%) in single infection and co-infection of E. tenella with E. acervulina had the highest prevalence (21.4%) in multiple infection. In conclusion, this survey demonstrated that coccidiosis is an important disease of poultry in Bauchi and as such, farmers are recommended to design appropriate strategies such practicing good bio security measures, proper sanitation, and administration of anticoccidial drugs prescribed by veterinarians. This will help in reducing the burden of this disease which will improve productivity of poultry as they serve as the major source of protein (meat and egg) in Bauchi and Nigeria at large.},
