"Bacterial enteritis is an important disease in poultry, causing loss of performance. It is a multifactorial disease with several predisposing factors." The use of feed additives combined with proper management and prevention of coccidiosis enables flocks to reach maximum genetic potential.
Gut health proves crucial for performance, health and welfare of production animals. Beyond common pathogen-induced intestinal issues, subtle digestive disorders increasingly present problems characterized by intestinal inflammation and villus shortening affecting performance. The main infectious causes stem primarily from bacterial origin.
Bacterial enteritis is omnipresent
Due to antimicrobial resistance, preventive use of antimicrobial growth promoters is banned in most countries, leading to increased necrotic and bacterial enteritis problems. Since coccidiosis serves as the main predisposing factor, good gut health begins with coccidiosis control. "Bacterial enteritis is an inflammatory response in the gut induced by a general bacterial challenge, not one single bacterial species."
Additional protection for the gut
Additives enhancing gut health support host defense, gut barrier management and integrity, and recovery of the intestine, or control the microbial ecosystem directly. N-Force represents a synergistic blend interacting with different steps in the bacterial enteritis cycle, offering antimicrobial, physiological and immunological properties providing protection throughout the intestinal tract.
