The results showed that, the infection rates of coccidiosis in piglets in Chengdu, Leshan, Nanning, Hezhou, Chongzuo and Haikou were 44, 34, 52, 40, 30 and 34% respectively. The coccidiosis positive rate of the farms was 100% (12/12). The study provides a basis for prevention the coccidiosis in piglets in China.
