High Levels of Coccidiosis in Game Birds 2014

This year we are seeing higher than usual amounts of coccidiosis in both young pheasants and partridges. Clinically significant levels are being seen regularly in pheasant chicks from three weeks of age so this possibility needs to be taken into consideration by rearers if they suspect that birds are less than 100% fit.
