Necrotic enteritis in broilers: This pathology is caused by Clostridium perfringens, and there are several factors that have an influence in the appearance of outbreaks.

One of the factors that affect the integrity of the epithelium is the rancidity of the oils used in the diet, which can cause erosions in the digestive mucosa.
