Are we catching the right Gut Health Signals, from droppings?

Overview The broilers are fast growers and their feed intake rises rapidly every day. This higher demand places higher stress on intestine and gut microflora. With ever intensifying predisposing factors, it takes just one thing to disrupt the balance, like increased alternate raw materials, season, diet density, increased clostridial load, & higher use of antibiotics, lead to disturbed gut health signs. Leading to flock being treated prophylactically for enteritis. Whereas in therapeutic treatments, there is a high probability of induced dysbacteriosis. Specific signals from gut A broiler bird is allowed…
