WHATS THE BEST LITTER MOISTURE CONTENT FOR BIRDS THAT RECEIVE COCCIVAC?
A. A minimum litter moisture content of about 25% is needed to stimulate the coccidial life cycle, but too much moisture will lead to poor Coccivac results. If the litter is too wet, coccidial cycling may be heavy, causing too much reaction in birds and even overgrowth of the bacteria that causes necrotic enteritis. Too much litter moisture also can lead to transient immunosuppression due to cold stress as well as high ammonia, resulting in blindness and poor flock uniformity. Q.
