An alternative approach to the treatment regimen for necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens without antibiotics-growth stimulants

Abstract

Relevance. The work is devoted to the urgent problem of gastrointestinal diseases in poultry, since with the prohibition of the introduction of feed antibiotics in the Russian Federation in poultry feed, an increase in the incidence of intestinal diseases and, in particular, necrotic enteritis is possible, as was the case in Europe with the ban on antibiotics-growth stimulants. The aim of our research was to develop a therapeutic and prophylactic regimen for necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens without an antibioticgrowth stimulator.

Methods. Production experience was carried out in the Russian Federation at one of the poultry farms of a large holding company at the cross-country ROSS 308 with the floor content of broiler chickens. Laboratory studies were conducted at the Federal State Institution of Science, State Scientific Center for Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (FBUN SSC PMB). Based on clinical, pathological, anatomical and laboratory studies on the completed batch of broiler rearing, a necrotic and enteritis diagnosis was made and a treatment plan was drawn up for the next batch of chickens without the use of a feed antibiotic. The drug includes Clindaspectin®, Solamox®, Aviker® T SL and Prodaktiv® Acid Se.

Results. Production experience has shown that the consistent introduction of Clindaspectin®, Aviker® T SL, Solamox®, Prodactiv®, Acid Se into the scheme for the complete feeding period allowed achieving the best production indices without the use of a feed antibiotic.
