Better understanding needed of protozoal disease in turkeys

The US turkey industry continues to battle costly protozoal diseases such as coccidiosis, blackhead disease and more. While there are vaccines, medications and alternative products available for managing coccidiosis, there are few dependable options for managing the others. Little also is known about how these protozoal diseases interact. To help the turkey industry get a firmer grip on protozoal diseases, a roundtable was recently held featuring three experts from research, production and industry. Each panelist shared experiences and provided ideas on how to address protozoal diseases and maintain the health, well-being and productivity of turkeys today. Joining us today to discussion the roundtable and protozoal disease in turkeys are Dr. David Rives, senior technical services veterinarian with Zoetis, and Dr. Olivia Wedegaertner, US turkey account manager, also with Zoetis.Interested in reading the entire roundtable discussion?
