Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for early detection of a necrotic enteritis outbreak in an avian population, the method comprising: a) collecting fecal sample material deriving from the avian population at consecutive points in time; and b) determining the ratio of the amounts of the marker genes netB to cpa, contained in the sample material obtained in step a); wherein a reversion of the ratio of the amounts of netB to cpa over time is an early indication of a necrotic enteritis outbreak.
