Coccidiosis ranks in the top 10 poultry health concerns worldwide, and the cost of its control can be significant. Kayla Price, PhD, poultry technical manager, outlined points to consider and how to build an arsenal of alternative products to manage coccidiosis in poultry flocks.
Genome sequencing is key to controlling coccidiosis and the associated infections of necrotic enteritis in broilers, according to Mark Jenkins, PhD, USDA’s Animal Research Service.
Although poultry production has steadily evolved with improved knowledge and technological advances, coccidiosis remains arguably the most important disease concern to keep in mind and address year after year.
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.
