The Poultry Podcast Show - #59 - Addressing concerns in the US poultry industry: subclinical coccidiosis

In this episode, I had the great honor of being with Dr. Hector Cervantes, who shared  his knowledge with us about poultry farming in Mexico, Canada, and the USA. Dr. Cervantes also brilliantly addressed one of the urgent concerns in the US poultry industry: subclinical coccidiosis. In relation to this topic, we discuss the prevention of clinical coccidiosis, diagnosis of subclinical infections, differences between subclinical infection and coccidiosis, the importance of historical research, and much more. This episode is really fantastic and full of highly important information.
