With no new anticoccidials coming onto the market and major poultry companies shifting from “raised without antibiotics” to “no antibiotics important to human medicine” programs, the pressure is on to preserve the efficacy of current feed medications and seek alternatives for managing coccidiosis.
Vaccines are essential tools for managing diseases in poultry and ensuring flock welfare. Taking shortcuts with them is never a good idea, however, and there’s plenty of research to prove it. In the second of a two-part series, Bill Stanley, DVM, and Isabel Gimeno, DVM, PhD, talked about their experiences managing vaccines and ensuring optimum performance.

In a recent Poultry Science publication, researchers in Egypt and Saudi Arabia reported that prebiotic and probiotic supplementation in flocks vaccinated for coccidiosis did not alter vaccine effectiveness or improve short-term, vaccine-induced declines in growth performance.
A deep dive into Eimeria research reveals a strong inter-relationship between coccidiosis and secondary infections, such as necrotic enteritis, that poses formidable disease control challenges in poultry.
Immunosuppression is a costly yet often misunderstood problem in the poultry industry. But what exactly is immunosuppression, and how can it be detected, diagnosed and measured? In the first of a two-part series, Isabel Gimeno, DVM, PhD, and Bill Stanley, DVM, share their expertise on this topic.
