New website focuses on necrotic enteritis in poultry 04 Jul 2007
A new website for poultry producers, focusing on
strategies for managing necrotic enteritis in poultry, is now available from
Schering-Plough Animal Health Corporation.
The website
was developed to support Schering-Plough Animal Health's Clostridium perfringens
Type A toxoid, the poultry industry's first and only vaccine for controlling
mortality due to necrotic enteritis, a highly prevalent and costly intestinal
disease in broilers.
Besides providing technical information about the vaccine, the website
features an extensive menu of resources to help producers address the challenges
of managing necrotic enteritis in antibiotic-free production. Information on the
site includes:
- - News articles
- - Scientific papers
- - FAQs, presentations
- - Podcasts
Additionally, there is an online calculator that allows producers to
determine the probable payback from vaccination for their own business.
There's also a library of articles from a wide range of consumer
publications reporting on antibiotic-free trends and special sections on related
topics, such as coccidiosis, gangrenous dermatitis, intestinal health and
antibiotic resistance.
