Thanks for highlighting a very important problem of broiler chicken.
Generally it is considered that Staphylococci and aflatoxins are responsible for BCO, and Your's good self has mentioned to use Probiotics and Vaccines to prevent BCO.
So which probiotics and vaccines are necessary to prevent BCO?
