The Impact of Anticoccidial Programs on the Use of Antimicrobial Treatments in Field Conditions
A poultry veterinary clinic in Belgium wanted to elucidate the reasons for their antimicrobial treatments linked to enteric disorders. Since coccidiosis is one of the main triggering factors for intestinal disorders such as dysbacteriosis and necrotic enteritis, the possibility of an underlying coccidiosis problem was considered. In order to test this hypothesis, Aviapp®, the broiler health platform developed by Huvepharma®, was used to collect data on farm which was then matched to information on the use of antimicrobials for enteric problems in each flock.
