In vaccinated animals, intestinal lesions associated with C. perfringens were reduced compared to non-vaccinated birds and, as a consequence, benefits in productive performances were observed. Supplementation of MCFA to the diet of vaccinated birds further reduced the intestinal lesions caused by the NE challenge model compared to vaccination alone.
