Hofacre said the most common cause of intestinal wall damage is coccidia. The parasitic microbe lives and reproduces within animal cells.

When the gut is damaged, it leaks microbial flora that is normal in the intestine into the bird’s bloodstream.

Bacterial organisms and their toxins are the primary cause but coccidiosis may be a contributing factor. Most of the damage to the intestinal lining apparently is due to toxins produced by the bacterial organisms
