Efficient Intervention of Broiler Gut Health Issues

Key Takeaways

  • Gut health is one of the biggest factors influencing broiler performance, affecting nutrient absorption, growth, feed efficiency, and overall flock health.
  • Common gut health challenges can reduce productivity and profitability, making early prevention and management essential for successful poultry production.
  • Nutrition and feed management play a critical role in supporting intestinal health, helping birds maintain a balanced gut environment and strong immune function.
  • A proactive approach to gut health can help improve broiler resilience and production outcomes, supporting better performance throughout the production cycle.

Broiler production has achieved substantial growth compared to other livestock industries since the late 1970s. Despite advancements, gut health issues, especially necrotic enteritis, corresponding to the reduction or removal of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in feed, present significant challenges in the industry. To reduce economic losses caused by subclinical necrotic enteritis and similar diseases, seek early diagnosis and intervention. Paired with the right AGP alternative, like CLOSTAT™, broiler producers will be able to achieve satisfactory broiler performance as prescribed per breed standards.

The following infographic helps to easily identify necrotic enteritis with its symptoms and lesions.
