. an important aspect of litter beplay官网全站苹果
 is the elimination of wet litter, which is especially prevalent under waterers. coccidia are resistant to harsh environmental conditions and common disinfectants. it is important to change the litter of highly infested flocks. use of anticoccidial medications or vaccines is never a substitute for good beplay官网全站苹果
 practices.<\/p>\n<p>anticoccidial medications can be used in conventional poultry production (not organic poultry production) and commonly are added to poultry feed to prevent coccidiosis. anticoccidial medications used in poultry feeds include the following examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>amprolium (e.g., amprol, corid)<\/li>\n<li>decoquinate (e.g., deccox)<\/li>\n<li>diclazuril (e.g., clinacox)<\/li>\n<li>halofuginone hydrobromide (e.g., stenorol)<\/li>\n<li>lasalocid (e.g., avatec)<\/li>\n<li>monensin (e.g., coban)<\/li>\n<li>narasin (e.g., monteban)<\/li>\n<li>nicarbazin (e.g., nicarb 25%)<\/li>\n<li>salinomycin (e.g., bio-cox, sacox)semduramicin (e.g., aviax)<\/li>\n<li>sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim 5:3 (e.g., rofenaid)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>because anticoccidial medications may not be used in organic poultry production, alternative means of control must be used. one option\u00a0is the use of coccidiosis vaccination. it is important to understand the differences among coccidiosis vaccines. first, different coccidiosis vaccines exist for different poultry species because different strains of coccidia attack different species. for example, some coccidia affect chickens but not turkeys, and others affect turkeys but not chickens. second, there are\u00a0two types of coccidiosis vaccines: virulent and attenuated. most coccidiosis vaccines are virulent, meaning that they\u00a0include a low dose of the live parasite as a key component for stimulating protective immunity. attenuated vaccines lack a part of the life cycle of the original strain they were derived from. as a consequence, they have lower productive and pathogenic potential. this characteristic is a major advantage of attenuated vaccines over virulent vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>coccidiosis vaccination is not infallible. heavy infestations of coccidia can cause disease even in vaccinated chickens if the chickens&#8217; immune systems are compromised, damaged, or suppressed by other infectious agents.<\/p>\n<p>coccidiosis vaccines\u00a0include the following options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>coccivac\u00ae-b\u2014live oocysts of chicken isolates<\/li>\n<li>coccivac\u00aet\u2014live oocysts of turkey isolates<\/li>\n<li>paracox\u00ae-5\u2014live attenuated vaccine for chickens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>note: brand names appearing in this article are examples only. no endorsement is intended; nor is criticism implied of similar products not mentioned.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>note: before using any product, make sure that the brand name product is listed in your organic system plan and approved by your certifier.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>written by: dr. jacquie jacob, university of kentucky note:\u00a0 coccidiostats (anticoccidial medications)\u00a0are not allowed in organic poultry production. coccidiosis is a common disease of poultry caused by protozoan-type parasites (coccidia). these parasites live and multiply in the intestinal tract and cause tissue damage. the resulting damage interferes with food digestion and nutrient absorption.\u00a0dehydration and blood &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"\/\/www.bkpromos.com\/beplayapp网页
