[Subclinical coccidiosis in broilers and pullets].

H Salisch, I Erhorn, K P Behr

    DTW. Deutsche Tierarztliche Wochenschrift
    |November 1, 1989

    Summary

    Coccidial parasites, primarily Eimeria tenella and E. acervulina, caused economic damage in broiler crops by the fifth week. Birds on wired floors showed no Eimeria infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Parasitology
    • Poultry Health
    • Avian Medicine

    Context:

    • Parasitic infections significantly impact poultry industry economics.
    • Eimeria species are common causes of coccidiosis in chickens.
    • Understanding parasite prevalence and impact is crucial for flock management.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence and impact of parasitic infections in broiler and pullet flocks.
    • To identify dominant Eimeria species and assess their correlation with economic damage.
    • To compare diagnostic methods for parasite detection in different flock types.

    Summary:

    • A study examined 24 broiler and 9 pullet flocks for parasites between 1985-1987.
    • Eimeria tenella and E. acervulina were dominant, with economic damage linked to high oocyst counts in broilers at week 5.
    • No Eimeria were found in birds on wired floors; random sampling was superior for pullet diagnostics.

    Impact:

    • Identified key Eimeria species responsible for economic losses in broiler production.
    • Highlighted the importance of litter management and early detection of coccidiosis.
    • Provided insights into effective diagnostic strategies for poultry parasite surveillance.
