Scientist identifies new Eimeria species
A new species of coccidia has been discovered and named by a poultry technical service specialist at Merck Animal Health.

- Controlling enteritis without drugs
Year-round coccidiosis control by vaccination enabled Fischer Family Poultry to take another step to reduce medication use in its broilers. In response to a market opportunity, the company removed all antibiotics from broiler feed and water.

In the early 2000s, Fischer Family Poultry, Ltd., Ontario, Canada, devised a simple plan for breathing new life into its coccidiosis-control program: Give the resistance-prone, in-feed anticoccidials a rest and use a live coccidiosis vaccine for three successive cycles. Then, when winter arrives, switch back to the medication program for three more cycles and continue with that rotation.

- Real-world experience is corroborating research indicating that a coccidiosis challenge late during the production cycle takes a far more serious toll on broilers and the producer’s wallet than an early coccidiosis challenge.

- A coccidiosis challenge late in the production cycle has a profound, negative effect on energy utilization, flock performance and profitability — even when coccidial gut lesions are minor, indicates expansive research by a US nutritionist.

- Coccidiosis vaccination is put to the test
- It was in 2007 when Alain Coeudevez, manager of the Ets Michel “Certi’ Ferme” poultry line, decided to investigate the possibility of vaccinating broilers against coccidiosis.

- NE strains of C. perfringens are mighty gut warriors
- Investigators from the University of Arizona inoculated broiler chicks with mixtures of C. perfringens strains to explore the single strain dominance that has been observed in natural cases of NE.

- Making coccidiosis vaccination work in dry climates
- Coccidiosis vaccination has been widely used with good success in many broiler-breeder operations. In dry climates, however, it’s been known to present some challenges because live-oocyst vaccines need moisture to cycle. Alberta’s Jenny A. Fricke, DVM, has found a solution.

- Antibiotic therapy
Reduced sensitivity to some antibiotics, plus the concern that feeding these drugs to poultry and livestock may increase the risk for antibiotic-resistant infections in people, is initiating significant changes in the poultry industry.
