Challenge - Coccidiosis

INTRODUCTION Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the Eimeria species. It is an economically significant disease of broilers and other major livestock species, estimated to cost the broiler industry alone €13.5 billion per year (Blake, 2020, FAO,...

INTRODUCTION The goal of any coccidiosis management programme is to control the severity of coccidiosis and to attempt to regulate when the primary damage will occur. Over recent years, concern has been expressed regarding the long-term effectiveness of conventional methods...

SUMMARY Orego-Stim is effective in reducing the impact of coccidial challenge on growth performance and intestinal health. BACKGROUND Coccidiosis in turkeys will result in reduced growth rates, poor feed conversion and increased mortality. Previously, coccidiosis was commonly controlled via in-feed anticoccidial...

Developed to manage intestinal health, supporting optimum gut integrity and performance, Orego-Stim is a consistent high quality source of 100% natural Oregano Essential Oil.

Orego-Stim® Powder Reduces Coccidia Oocyst Shedding in Weaned Lambs 

Compromised gut health is estimated to cost the UK poultry Industry over £42 million annually due to coccidiosis and up to £0.04/bird due to necrotic enteritis.

Broilers fed Orego-Stim had comparable performance to the anti-coccidial treatment.

Orego-Stim still allows for coccidial recycling in the litter which is essential for the development of natural immunity against coccidiosis.

Coccidiosis is an intestinal infection ubiquitous to poultry and is caused by several different species of Eimeria. Infection seriously impairs poultry growth and feed utilisation (Yun et al., 2000).

Reducing the severity of coccidiosis can enhance performance and improve profitability.

What is Coccidiosis?

Coccidiosis is a common intestinal infection that plagues all poultry, caused by protozoan parasites of the Eimeria group. Infection can seriously impair bird growth and lead to increased mortality.
