Dr. Kelley Wamsley: Yeast in Coccidiosis Control | Ep. 55
Season 1 Episode 55
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.ย
"The Firmicutes to bacterial size ratio was lower in yeast product treated birds compared to chemically treated birds, and yeast product treated birds showed greater association with biomarkers linked to improved performance, like allostypes."
