Abstract The development of alternative therapies to treat chicken coccidiosis has become a hot topic because of the widespread use of conventional medicines. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of eugenol in treating Eimeria tenella infection in broilers. Broiers, at the age of 14 d, were orally infected with sporulated Eimeria tenella oocysts, and then, eugenol essential oil was added to chicken feed at three different dosages (0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 g/kg). The anticoccidial effects of eugenol essential oil were assessed using the anticoccidial index (ACI). As a result, eugenol exhibited a moderate anticoccidial effect, with an ACI of 167.37 at 0.2 g/kg. After eugenol treatment, the expression of occludin in the epithelial cells of the chicken cecum was significantly greater (P
