Coccidiosis Management

Selected Species

Reduce the reliance on anticoccidial chemicals and ionophores, boost the efficacy of cocci vaccines and overcome resistance challenges

Why is it important?

  • Coccidiosis is the leading disease in poultry, costing the industry an estimated 12 billion Euro annually.
  • Anticoccidial drugs (chemicals and ionophores) have been used for decades through rotation, shuttle, and bio-shuttle programs. But newer regulations, consumer preferences, and resistance concerns demand novel intervention strategies.
  • Anticoccidial vaccines, considered as potential alternatives to chemicals, affect livability and performance.

How to maximize the potential?

  • Identify the gaps and challenges in the current rotation and/or shuttle programs.
  • Find effective alternative for anticoccidial chemicals and ionophores.
  • Reduce the reliance on anticoccidial by either totally replacing them or lowering their inclusion with the help of an effective and natural alternative solution.
  • Use a potentiating solution along with cocci vaccine to avoid the performance drop associated with vaccination.

  • An unique blend of essential oils and saponin can help build a comprehensive rotation and or shuttle programs through direct and in-direct modes of action.
  • A synbiotic helps to improve intestinal integrity during a coccidiosis challenge whereas a novel precision biotic redirects nutrients away from opportunistic pathogens, towards productive microbial protein metabolism.
  • A precision monitoring system using blood biomarkers can help predict the occurrence of Coccidiosis.

We recommend ensuring Optimum Vitamin Nutrition and a comprehensive mycotoxin risk management program as baseline in all Poultry diets. Precise sustainability measures can help reduce the environmental footprint while ensuring lifetime production.
