Coccidiosis management: There’s always room for improvement
Experts from research, production and industry provide practical tips for achieving more consistent, effective coccidiosis control.Access the roundtable discussion on Poultry Health Today
The poultry industry has a range of tools for managing coccidiosis, including vaccines, feed medications and alternative products, yet broiler producers still rank coccidiosis as the No. 1 disease threat to flock health, welfare and profitability.
Why does the parasitic disease persist? Where do control programs go wrong? And more importantly, what can be done to manage coccidiosis more dependably and consistently?
To help the industry answer these and other questions, Watt AgNet and Poultry Health Today collaborated on a webinar featuring three experts from research, production and industry. Each panelist shared experiences and provided tips for achieving more consistent, effective coccidiosis control.
The informative webinar was sponsored by the US poultry business of Zoetis. Following are edited highlights from this insightful, one-hour discussion.
