Parasite Management for Natural and Organic Poultry: Coccidiosis (Summary)
Parasite Management for Natural and Organic Poultry: Coccidiosis (Summary)
Both small and large poultry producers are interested in the sustainable management of the parasitic
disease coccidiosis. This publication provides information on its life cycle, transmission in free-range
production, management in the brooder and on pasture, natural treatments, drugs, and vaccines. On
a small scale, coccidiosis can be handled without medication by careful management, especially during
brooding, and adequate pasture rotation; however, on a larger scale, it is more difficult and vaccines
are an important alternative to drugs in organic production. References and further information
follow the narrative.
