The Eimeria species responsible for coccidiosis in broiler chickens
By: Part of Series:
The Eimeria species responsible for coccidiosis in the species Gallus gallus are: E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. mitis, E. praecox and E. tenella, which are responsible for the disease in short life-cycle poultry (broilers), and E. necatrix and E. brunetti, which, together with the above 5 species, are responsible for the occurrence of outbreaks in long life-cycle poultry (breeders and layers). They are all ubiquitous in their behaviour and vary in their pathogenicity.
To support producers, Hipra has built an Eimeria Prevention resource library featuring videos, blogs, vaccines and dose calculations.
