In industrial poultry production, designing a preventive program for controlling coccidiosis is one of the most important decisions to be made in order to safeguard or improve zootechnical and financial results. Usually in-feed anticoccidials are used in these programs and traditionally were considered sufficient for controlling clinical coccidiosis. Live coccidiosis vaccines are becoming increasingly popular though, as they very often provide a solution when the in-feed anticoccidials become inefficient. In fact, live coccidiosis vaccines are able to promote the restoration of the sensitivity of Eimeria field strains towards anticoccidials.
