Experimentally induced necrotic enteritis in chickens

A 1.3 to 10% incidence of necrotic enteritis was experimentally produced in broiler-type chickens in three of five trials. The incidence range observed was considerably narrower and lower than the 5.6-37.3% range reported in the literature. Clostridium perfringens was inconsistently isolated from th...

Description
Summary:A 1.3 to 10% incidence of necrotic enteritis was experimentally produced in broiler-type chickens in three of five trials. The incidence range observed was considerably narrower and lower than the 5.6-37.3% range reported in the literature. Clostridium perfringens was inconsistently isolated from the liver and intestine of dosed chickens. /// Se reprodujo experimentalmente una incidencia del 1.3 al 10% de enteritis necrótica en 3 de 5 experimentos con pollos tipo engorde. El rango de incidencia observado fué considerablemente menor que el de 5.6 a 37.3% reportado en la literatura. El Clostridium perfringens fué aislado inconsistentemente del hígado e intestino de los pollos tratados.
