The mycotoxin deoxynivalenol predisposes for the development of Clostridium perfringens-induced necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Both mycotoxin contamination of feed and Clostridium perfringens-induced necrotic enteritis have an increasing global economic impact on poultry production. Especially the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) is a common feed contaminant.

Identification of a Key Residue for Oligomerisation and Pore-Formation of Clostridium perfringens NetB [PDF]

Toxins, 2014
Necrotic enteritis toxin B (NetB) is a β-pore-forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens and has been identified as a key virulence factor in the pathogenesis of avian necrotic enteritis, a disease causing significant economic damage to the ...

Zinc Glycinate Alleviates Necrotic Enteritis Infection in Broiler Chickens [PDF]

Animals
This study evaluated zinc glycinate (ZG) on necrotic enteritis (NE) in chickens through two in vivo experiments and one in vitro experiment. In vivo, ZG was supplemented (study 1: 40–120 mg/kg; study 2: 100–160 mg/kg). In total, 192 (exp. 1) and 240 Cobb

Mechanisms of Action and Cell Death Associated with Clostridium perfringens Toxins [PDF]

Toxins, 2018
Clostridium perfringens uses its large arsenal of protein toxins to produce histotoxic, neurologic and intestinal infections in humans and animals. The major toxins involved in diseases are alpha (CPA), beta (CPB), epsilon (ETX), iota (ITX), enterotoxin (

Oral and parenteral vaccination of broiler chickens with Recombinant NetB antigen from Clostridium perfringens confers significant protection against necrotic enteritis [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Necrotic enteritis is a devastating economic disease caused by Clostridium perfringens in poultry. NetB toxin from C. perfringens type G is the major responsible cause of necrotic enteritis.

Genomic Diversity and Virulence Factors of Clostridium perfringens Isolated from Healthy and Necrotic Enteritis-Affected Broiler Chicken Farms in Quebec Province [PDF]

Microorganisms
Avian necrotic enteritis due to the Gram-positive bacterium Clostridium perfringens has re-emerged following the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in many poultry producing countries. The limited number of previous studies has left important gaps in our

Effects of feed supplementation with 3 different probiotic Bacillus strains and their combination on the performance of broiler chickens challenged with Clostridium perfringens

Poultry Science, 2021
The application of probiotics in broiler feed, to alleviate performance deficiencies due to mild infections by coccidia and Clostridium perfringens, is of increasing interest for the poultry industry. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the capacity
