Heat stress modulates the disruptive effects of Eimeria maxima infection on the ileum nutrient digestibility, molecular transporters, and tissue morphology in meat-type chickens
Published: June 3, 2024
Summary
Introduction Coccidiosis is a parasitic infection caused by Eimeria spp and persistently affecting broiler chicken, causing high morbidity, impaired growth, and mortality [1]. Unlike many other protozoan parasites, Eimeria spp exclusively invades the intestinal epithelium showing high tissue specificity [2]. Eimeria (E.) maxima is characterized by producing the largest oocysts and male gamonts a...

Very interesting research highlighting the complex interaction between heat stress and Eimeria maxima infection in broilers. Understanding how environmental stress can influence intestinal integrity, nutrient absorption, and bird performance is important for developing more effective poultry health and management strategies. Thanks for sharing.
