The challenges of coccidiosis in poultry
Poultry coccidiosis is a constant and costly threat that:
> Different parasite species = peaks at different bird ages
> Late outbreaks can occur due to poor immunity
> A ubiquitous parasite
> Can survive in the environment for long periods2
> Broiler feed conversion rate (FCR): up to 10%3
> Weight gain: up to 7%3
> Intestinal Integrity (I2) scores4
> Mortality5
> Disease rates6-9
The impact of poor poultry coccidiosis control
costs up to £125.5 million in the UK and
£13 billion per annum worldwide10
Coccidiosis in poultry alone costs 4p per bird
due to the negative impact on Intestinal Integrity,
including broiler feed conversion ratios. Its association
with necrotic enteritis increases this to 7.8p per bird11,12
Don’t let poultry coccidiosis fly under the radar
Monitoring Intestinal Integrity scores via HTSi makes sure that poultry coccidiosis
is not quietly impacting the productivity of a flock over time.
Consistent and effective management of coccidiosis in poultry has big benefits, it can:
