Ep206 – Coccidiosis Control & Bloodline Power: Building Stronger Chickens and Gamefowl

Описание: Coccidiosis is one of the most common and most damaging diseases affecting chickens and gamefowl. But for serious breeders, it’s more than just a health issue, it’s a test of management, selection, and long-term bloodline development.

In this episode, we break down the science and strategy behind controlling coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species like Eimeria tenella, Eimeria necatrix, and Eimeria maxima. You’ll learn how these parasites attack the intestinal tract, why moisture and litter management are critical, and how outbreaks can silently weaken your breeding program.

We also talk about the life cycle of coccidia so you can understand why infections spread rapidly, and how to interrupt the cycle effectively.

Plus, we discuss the practical use of Baycox (toltrazuril): How it works, Why it’s effective, When to use it, How to use it strategically without weakening natural resistance.

Most importantly, we explore how smart disease management helps you build stronger, more resilient bloodlines, selecting birds that thrive, not just survive.

If you’re serious about improving your strain, reducing mortality, and raising high-performance birds, this episode is for you.
