A study was carried out to analyse the efficacy of neem leaf powder, administered in a capsule against coccidiosis in young goats as well as to identify the species of coccidia found in a selected private farm in Sungai Siput, Perak. A total of seven Eimeria spp were found, in faecal samples from the experimental goats, namely; E. arloingi,E. hirci, E. alijevi, E. christenseni, E. jolchijevi, E. ninakohlyakimovae and E. caprina at a rate of 40%, 23%, 14%, 7%, 5% and 2% respectively. Two types of treatment for coccidiosis, herbal and synthetic, were given to 24 young goats for a period of 8 weeks to evaluate the effectiveness of a herbal product, that is the neem leaf powder capsule, a product of the Veterinary Research Institute.Results show that there is no significant differences (p>0.01) between neem capsule treatment and a synthetic drug (sulphurbased) treatment in treating coccidiosis infection. This study shows that neem leaf powder can be an effective substitute for controlling coccidiosis in goats

Identification of processed animal protein in animal feedstuffs wasperformed under the feed safety programme to ensure that the products used locally to feed the livestock are safe and properly labeled to prevent unnecessary incidence that will affect both animal and human.A “silica-membrane technology” method was applied based on its fast and effective purification of nucleic acids from various matrices. The silica membranes were optimized for high DNA recovery and lowbinding efficiency for impurities. Results from 58 with various kinds of samples showed negative of unwanted processed animal protein.
