Use of appropriate antibiotic very artistically designed treatment plan is only effective tool available and used successfully till today which is a very expensive method.
I am delighted by reading this article and I want to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to professor David John Hampson for his dedication and trying to research out a better cost-effective method to bring Intestinal spirochaetosis under control.
I wish grand success in his ongoing research programs on this multi-host important ailment and really waiting for a better tool to control this economically important disease of Avian hosts.
This is a quality of information and l love to read.
