Dr. S.S Chabbra I must add here that date count for baby chicks should start from day of hatch rather than the day of arrival in the farm. Some birds arrive farms up to 5 days after hatch. They survive nutritionally on yolk stalk till feeding starts from the farm. Nowadays nutritional gels are introduced into their boxes by some hatcheries but not all during transportation to the farm. My arguments here is if, for example, baby chicks arrive farm three days after hatch owing to transportation time to the farm. Every date calculation on the farm should be as from three days behind.
Nowadays cocci is a great problem in broiler farm where rare in deep litter system although anticoccidial drugs are used. However with the present of anticoccidial which groups of water-soluble anti cocci drug can be used?
In general, cocci is related to wet litter. In Saudi Arabia RH is around 20% or even less round the year. Here I have seen cocci in broilers in very dry dusty litter.
Cocci is a young age disease. I have seen many outbreaks in layers. It becomes very difficult to treat cocci in laying birds.
Should we consider if coccidia are changing for their survival?
Greetings, what would be the preventive treatment in the raising of pullets against coccidia, if coccidiostatic is not used in the food?
Management of necrotic enteritis must be considered along with any holistic management of coccidiosis and litter hygiene to subclinically guarantee preimmunity to the flick must be considered.
We need to control necrotic enteritis because the mucus produced from the pathogenesis of this infection is an adequate substrate for the survival of coccidia proliferation in poultry.
I always advise in my practice an excellent feed grade antibiotics and ciccidiostat to check mate the incidences if necrotic enteritis and coccidiosis in vivo.
As for the litter, the risk if iocydt build up comes from poor litter management that create conducive microenvironment for the build up of infective oocytes which are usually in the surroundings of waterers and feeders.
We need to minimize the level of oocyst risk in these regions by using friendly animal welfare products to absorb excess water contamination around the stated risk regions to slow down the proliferation of oocytes and minimize outbreak, but sustain preimmunity for the flocks.
A few of these nanotechnology friendly environmental products must be synergized with good feed grade antibiotics and cocci diostant to put coccidiosis outbreak on hold in continuous broiler production.
