Managing colibacillosis

Colibacillosis, the most common poultry disease, is caused by E. coli. It’s also known as early mortality syndrome, coli granuloma, mushy chick disease, cellulitis, peritonitis or chronic respiratory disease (CRD). Transmitted via feed and water, colibacillosis has a significant impact on poultry performance and use of antimicrobials (and related resistance).
