The Role of Narasin in Poultry Health: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coccidiosis is likely the most costly disease threat to global poultry production and prevention of coccidiosis is essential in order to maintain intestinal integrity and the efficient absorption of nutrients in the chicken. Narasin is an ionophore anticoccidial. Ionophores transport cations such as sodium across the pellicle membrane of sporozoites of coccidia, resulting in a lethal osmotic imbalance and the death of the coccidia. This paper reviews the role of narasin in poultry health and its unique properties that set it apart from other ionophore anticoccidials, thus making narasin an ideal anticoccidial in protecting the intestinal intergrity of broiler chickens and assuring optimal growth performance.
