      <abstract>&lt;p&gt;The aim of study was to determine the effect of (Brufen&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;) alone and in conjugation with vitamin E and Selenium in broilers against coccidiosis. One hundred randomly allocated (25 birds in each group&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;/em&gt;, A, B, C &amp;amp; D) day-old broiler chicks underwent the current trial. Group A, B and C were challenged with 60,000-70,000 sporulated oocysts of genus&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Eimeria&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;at 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;day of age. Group A and B were administered with (Brufen&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;) and combination of (Brufen&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;) with vitamin E and Selenium (E-Sel&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;) @ 100mg/kg body weight and 1ml/10 liters of drinking water, respectively. Group C and D were kept as negative (infected &amp;amp; un-medicated) and positive (un-infected &amp;amp; un-medicated) controls, respectively. Therapeutic response was measured on the basis of mortality, oocysts count, weight gains, coccidial lesion scorings and weight of lymphoid organs. Maximum mortality was observed in group C (17/25), followed by group A (12/25), than in group B (8/25) post coccidial infection. Coccidial lesion scores and oocysts count were significantly lower in groups (A &amp;amp; B) administered with Ibuprofen. Moreover, maximum weight gain and reduced lymphoid organ to body weight ratio were also observed in chicken of group B as compared to A, C and D. The study suggested synergistic and enhanced protective response of Ibuprofen in combination with vitamin E and Selenium against chicken coccidiosis.&lt;/p&gt;</abstract>
