As Dr Ibe states, identifying the type of Eimeria can help with planning control, both prevention and treatment. Tools like ScreenFloX will help in this regard. This tool does, however, require a veterinary laboratory equipped with PCR analysis technology. MPS

Coccidial organisms are prevalent in all environments. Using sand as a bedding is no guarantee of freedom of infection; to state otherwise is misleading. To reduce the risk of coccidiosis requires excellent hygiene, good biosecurity, and then implementation of a treatment strategy that can include both coccidiostats and anti-coccidial vaccines. Coccidiosis probably causes ...

Extremely interesting article, thank you. I have some questions about the RFID chip. How time consuming was it to attach the chip? How secure is the chip?

John Htoo,
Based on the summary presented, I would like to highlight as correct, the decision of the team of researchers responsible for the work, to have used a suboptimal level of lysine to determine the best tryptophan relationship with lysine. This decision-making is justified by the fact that animals require grams of amino acids per day or phase, not percentage. Thus it can be deduced that th ...
