The natural control of coccidiosis and round worms relies on allowing the birds natural immune system to protect the bird. The difficulty with coccidiosis and worms is that the birds continually shed viable eggs from these parasites into the soil. The parasites survive well in the soil, and may live in the soil longer than the birds. The longer the birds are kept in the same location, and the greater the numbers kept, the higher the level of viable eggs of these parasites in the environment. This means a greater the challenge of these parasites to each new generation of birds. The higher the level of challenge the more likely the birds immune system will not cope with the challenge. When this happens we get active disease. Molodri is useful becaue it reduces the level of viable eggs of these parasites which are passed into the environment in the birds droppings, and so with time, reduces the level of viable eggs in the environment. In the case of birds in a new location,it reduces the build up of the parasites in the first instance.In addition, high levels of coccidiosis and worms may not themselves cause disease, but they increase the base load on the immune system so that a new disease threat will be the so called "straw that broke the camels back".This is why we so often see the veterinary diagnosis of worms or coccidiosis when other diseases are present, these parasites are often present when a new disease is the actual killer, and the parasites just weaken the system and attack the bird weakened by the new disease.
So the real value of Molodri is as a management tool to improve the sustainability of our poultry operation, in a non chemical, environmentaly friendly way.
