Necrotic enteritis (NE), caused by the bacterium Clostridium perfringens (Cp), is a significant pathogenic disease in broiler production causing an estimated $5-6 Billion/year (World Poultry, 2015) loss to the global industry.
There is an approved commercial vaccine (Clostridium perfringens Type A vaccine, Huvepharma) available to producers in the Canadian poultry sector.
Clostridium perfringens Type A vaccine is the first and only mass-administered live vaccine available for controlling necrotic enteritis (NE) in broiler chickens.
