The Poultry Podcast Show - #55 - The impact of yeast products on Coccidiosis control

Coccidiosis is a fatal protozoal disease causing diarrhea, weight loss and decreased performance in poultry. In this episode of the Poultry Podcast Show, join me and Dr. Kelley Wamsley as we engage in a conversation about that critical topic and the available solutions to address this significant issue in the field. Dr. Wamsley and her team conducted a study examining the role of yeast products in enhancing broiler performance and managing coccidiosis, which is typically treated with chemicals. Furthermore, additional testing focusing on the microbiome yielded insightful results, linking positive biomarkers to improved performance. 

What you’ll learn:

1. The role of yeast products in Coccidiosis 

2. Yeast products for coccidiosis and their correlation with particle size

3. Utilization of AI in poultry research

4. Rethinking the starter period in bird growth
