Salmonella in Poultry
Salmonellosis is one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases affecting both humans and animals globally.
In 2022, it was the second most reported zoonotic disease in the EU, with 65,208 cases, marking an increase of 5,039 cases compared to the previous year. For more details, refer to the latest annual European Union One Health 2022 zoonoses report by EFSA and ECDC.
Since many milder cases go undiagnosed or unreported, the actual number of infections could be over thirty times higher.

Coccidiosis
Coccidiosis is a disease caused by Eimeria parasites commonly observed in mammals and birds' intestinal tract. In chickens and turkeys,
infection by this parasite is costly to both the producer (higher feed conversion ratios, depressed growth and increased flock mortality) and the industry
