Latest Aviagen briefs on coccidiosis control in broiler breeders, broilers now available

Aviagen has just released two briefs titled "Coccidiosis Control in Broiler Breeders with the use of Vaccines" and "Coccidiosis Control in Broilers with the use of Vaccines." 

The documents were written by Jose J. Bruzual, senior poultry veterinarian, and Zoltan Marton, regional technical veterinarian with Aviagen's Global Veterinary Team. They provide production managers with a strong understanding of the process required for chicks to develop uniform immunity to coccidia through the use of coccidiosis vaccines.

The information guides the reader through:

- Proper vaccine handling, storage and administration;

- Effective brooding practices for achieving early immunity;

-  Successful achievement of vaccine cycling.

"Correct management and administration of vaccines, followed by adequate brooding practices, are key to effectively developing early chick immunity and strengthening the intestinal health of the flock," Bruzual explained.
