An infection by protozoa Eimeria spp. can cause coccidiosis, which negatively affects broiler chicken performance and causes economic and production losses. To understand the effect of coccidiosis on broilers' performance, we evaluated the independent variables and their interactions on the severity of coccidiosis in broilers that cause variation (Δ) of average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), and gain per feed (G:F) of broiler chicks using a meta-analysis approach.

- Pig and poultry production has improved significantly in performance over the last few decades, yet there are opportunities for enhancing their environmental sustainability amid increasing food demand.
- This study systematically reviews research on the environmental impacts of pig and poultry production, focusing on life cycle assessments that measure climate change effects related to feeding practices.
- The findings emphasize that feeding strategies, particularly precision feeding techniques, are crucial for reducing the environmental impact and creating more sustainable livestock production systems.
