Turkey veterinarians and producers are increasingly turning to coccidiosis vaccines and using them in a rotation with anticoccidials in the feed as a standard component in their prevention programs.
Kelli Jones, DVM, MAM, Ceva Animal Health, shares tips for successfully using coccidiosis vaccination.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming widely used across various fields and could be a transformative tool for enhancing poultry management practices.
At the 2024 Poultry Science Association meeting, Molly Lobel, PhD, and her team at the University of Kentucky presented their findings from a study involving feeding mycotoxin-contaminated corn fines to broilers and exposing the birds to heat stress.
Saponins have become an increasingly common additive in poultry diets over the past decade, thanks to their potential to support bird health and reduce emissions, but it’s crucial for producers to carefully select the right saponins to maximize benefits for their flocks.
The trend toward reducing or eliminating antimicrobial use in broiler production has led to an increased incidence of necrotic enteritis, resulting in the need for alternative intervention strategies, such as vaccination, to control NE.

Day-old birds immunized with vaccines for Georgia (GA) and Massachusetts (Mass) serotypes of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were shown to be protected against four other circulating IBV variants in a recent study.
Innate and adaptive immunity in poultry against coccidiosis is complex, involving activity from many cells and molecules. Fortunately, research is shedding light on potential routes forward to help birds fight the ubiquitous parasitic disease.
Advanced microbiome analysis using non-lethal sampling and machine learning can guide changes on broiler farms that lead to earlier gut maturation in birds and performance gains, according to research using the technology with multiple flocks.
With the recent rise in the use of slow-growing lines for pasture-based and free-range broiler production, worm infestations could become a significant issue. Warmer weather also contributes to the rise in worm populations, as moisture and humidity create favorable conditions for parasite eggs to thrive, explains Prafulla Regmi, PhD, University of Georgia.
Varying periods of light and dark can affect turkeys’ health and well-being, including their eye health, level of fearfulness and mortality, according to a study led by Allison Pullin, PhD, animal welfare professor at North Carolina State University.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota found evidence of S. Typhimurium vaccine origins persisting in commercial poultry production through processing and developed a tool to rapidly determine if a field isolate is of vaccine origin and not a concern to human health.
