In this age of “no antibiotics ever” farming, the re-emerging necrotic enteritis (NE) disease caused by Clostridium perfringens poses a major economically important health concern in poultry, particularly in broiler flocks, says Ravi Kulkarni, BVSc, assistant professor at North Carolina State University.
After a decade studying how to reduce losses from necrotic enteritis and gangrenous dermatitis on broiler farms, Don Ritter, DVM, an independent consultant who heads Poultry Business Solutions, Norfolk, Virginia, believes the industry is finally making progress against these two clostridial diseases.
Supplementing broiler feeds with essential oils and organic acids have shown potential for managing broilers and supporting performance through a necrotic enteritis (NE) challenge window, according to Charles Hofacre, DVM, PhD.
