Controlling Sudden Death Syndrome via feed strategies

Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) is a problem that has been observed in many countries where other major poultry diseases have been brought under control. Smart feeding strategies can limit SDS incidence and damage. Sudden Death Syndrome occurs in broiler chickens of all ages and at the onset of sexual maturity in broiler breeders. Affected birds unexpectedly jump in the air, convulse, squawk, flip over and die. Mortality due to SDS ranges from 0.5% to 9.62% in broiler chickens and from 0.5% to 3.0%
