Necrotic enteritis remains one of the most commercially important enteric diseases in broiler production because it directly disrupts intestinal function. When disease damages the gut, birds may digest feed less effectively, absorb fewer nutrients and convert those nutrients into growth

Finding Clostridium perfringens in poultry is not unusual, however determining why it has started damaging the gut can be a real challenge.

Effective microbiological hazards control in rendered feed materials depends on more than a validated cooking process. Here's why protecting microbiological status after the lethality step is just as important. Rendering incorporates a validated lethality step that substantially reduces

Microbial pathogens are closely monitored in turkey production, yet it is rarely controlled through any single management decision. Flock status typically reflects the combined effect of many small factors that influence where pathogens enter, how they spread, and how effectively those

Every ton of feed that fails to leave the mill as saleable product has already consumed ingredients, energy, labor and production capacity. Whether that value is lost through dust, moisture loss, fines, handling or process variation, feed mill shrink reduces manufacturing efficiency and

Not every case of necrotic enteritis announces itself with increased mortality. In many broiler flocks, the greatest losses occur quietly through poorer feed conversion, slower growth and reduced processing yields long before disease becomes obvious. That hidden performance drag is one
