In less than one minute: Coccidiosis as a key predisposing factor to necrotic enteritis | PlusVet Animal Health
Necrotic enteritis is the result of the overgrowth of Clostridium perfringens in the upper part of the intestines. Clostridum perfringens is a Gram-positive bacteria and forms spores that are extremely resistant to desiccation, heat, disinfectants, and UV radiation, and as a consequence, it is frequently present in poultry houses all around the world.
In conditions of optimal gut health, Clostridium perfringens is present in the lower part of the intestines without causing disease. Whenever there is damage in the gut epithelium, imbalance of the gut flora, impairment of the digestive immunity, or sudden changes in the diet, Clostridium perfringens may overgrow not only in the distal parts of intestines but also in the proximal parts, starting the disease called necrotic enteritis.
