| Abstract | Clostridial infections are one of the most frequent hygienic problems in poultry production worldwide. C. perfringens is a causative agent of necrotic enteritis. Both treatment and prevention of necrotic enteritis is a big problem for the economy of the poultry production. After the ban of antibiotic growth promoters, lauric acid is one of the alternative. In vitro experiments proved strong effect against Gram-positive bacteria. The results should be confirmed in the corse of the experimental infection, which is still a major challenge. |
