Do you have problems with Enterococcus cecorum?
Enterococcus cecorum causes locomotor disorders and generalized infections (septicemia) in broiler farms, particularly those with rapid growth.
In less than 20 years, it has become one of the major pathogens in broiler farms.
This bacterium is at the origin of :
- a decline in animal welfare,
- increased use of antibiotics,
- economic losses (stunted growth, mortality)
