Master to identify the prevalence and intensity of coccidiosis in rabbits. The results show that the rate of coccidiosis in rabbits raised in some wards in Song Cong city reached an average of 65.94% with 422/644 positive rabbit feces samples. Rabbits raised in the period > 8-12 weeks old have the highest rate of coccidiosis; meanwhile, this rate was lowest in rabbits <4 weeks of age. According to the season of the year, the rate of coccidiosis of rabbits was highest in Spring and lowest in winter. Regarding the state of feces, rabbits with watery feces (with diarrhea) had the highest rate of coccidiosis and the lowest percentage is for rabbits with normal feces. Regarding veterinary hygiene, rabbits raised in good veterinary hygiene conditions had the lowest rate of coccidiosis, while rabbits raised in poor veterinary condition had the highest rate of coccidiosis.
