Abstract

Chicken necrotic enteritis is a kind of intestinal disease with high incidence in poultry, which causes huge economic losses to poultry producers, mainly caused by the infection of Clostridium perfringens. Probiotics can protect against chicken necrotic enteritis in by improving the intestinal barrier and immune function, and inhibiting the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells of the host. In this paper, the pathogenic mechanism of chicken necrotic enteritis and the intervention of probiotics were reviewed to provide reference for the scientific prevention and treatment of chicken necrotic enteritis.
