Parasites Affect Your Bottom Line

Internal gastrointestinal parasites can wreak havoc on your chickens, causing disease, a reduction in meat quality, and even the appearance of worms in eggs. While modern practices like improvements in housing, hygiene and management have reduced this incidence of parasitic infections, commercial flocks are still susceptible to roundworms, cecal worms and hair worms. High incidences of parasite in a flock can negatively impact weight and uniformity, causing drops in production and potential profit.
