Preventing clostridiosis in layers

Clostridium perfringens, a cause of microbial imbalance, flourishes in the presence of conditions including stress, coccidiosis and low digestion. A specific strain causes necrotic enteritis (NE), most often at the beginning of laying. Clostridium perfringens is also linked to focal duodenal necrosis (FDN), appearing as necrotic lesions in the duodenum (small intestine).
