Coccidiosis in broilers and turkeys is a potentially severe disease in itself and the most important predisposing factor for necrotic enteritis, a condition that accounts for more than 90 % of all therapeutic antibiotics used in Norwegian poultry. TEiCON focuses on providing the broiler and turkey industries and Norwegian animal health authorities with state-of-the art diagnostic tools and scientific data that can be used to reinforce a sustainable farming system and further develop our preparedness, and thus maintain and strengthen the competitive advantage of the Norwegian poultry meat industry.
The overall project objective of TEiCON is to enable and reinforce a sustainable Norwegian poultry meat production based on a minimal use of therapeutic antibiotics and in-feed anticoccidials.
