Necrosis in poultry, particularly necrotic enteritis (NE), is primarily caused by the <mark>overgrowth of the bacteria Clostridium perfringens in the intestinal tract</mark>. This overgrowth leads to severe damage to the intestinal lining, impacting nutrient absorption and potentially causing high mortality rates.

Poor farm management

One of the main predisposing factors for necrotic enteritis is poor coccidiosis management. In particular, Eimeria maxima appears to be a degeminating factor in necrotic enteritis outbreaks that usually occur after 20 days of age. Therefore, a proper coccidiosis program is likely the best practice to prevent necrotic enteritis in broilers.

Yes.different stress factors also contribute like heat stress also feed texture ,feed ingredients change is also one of them.
How we can avoid these stress.How we can keep clostridium under control??

Necrosis in poultry is primarily caused by infections and toxic conditions that lead to tissue death. A major specific cause is necrotic enteritis, which results from the overgrowth of the bacterium Clostridium perfringens (types A and C) in the intestines. This bacterium normally inhabits the gut but becomes pathogenic when predisposing factors disrupt the intestinal microflora, such as coccidial infections or certain diets high in animal proteins, cereals with high non-starch polysaccharide content, such as wheat, barley, and rye.
