Necrotic Enteritis (NE) in broilers

Necrotic enteritis (NE), also known as creepers, is a severe form of dysbacteriosis/bacterial enteritis (BE). The prevalence of real NE is quite low, especially when compared to other forms of dysbacteriosis. Severe types of dysbacteriosis are frequently mislabelled as “necrotic enteritis,” but NE refers only to the condition caused by the specific Clostridium perfringens found in typical necrotic lesions in the small intestine.
