We have performed a comparative estimation of three coccidiostats when experimental eimeriosis of chickens, infected with a coccidia field isolate from poultry production sites. Chickens performance treated with robenza, chicocin and monenza was almost the same. The anti-coccidiosis index was also the same in all three groups, not exceeding 160, which indicates the low sensitivity of coccidiosis agent to all studied drugs. An ionophore antibiotic (chicocin), a synthetic anti-coccidia drug (robenz) and a complex (monenza) consisting of an ionophore antibiotic and a synthetic anti-coccidia drug can be used in this poultry complex for the prevention of coccidiosis for a short time. But there is a need for constant monitoring and selection of new combinations, as partial resistance of coccidia to drugs can be transmitted genetically and will only increase over time, making coccidiostats ineffective
