The author reviewed the characteristics of necrotic enteritis include the etiology,physicochemical properties, epidemiology and clinical signs,at the same time, the control measures and common drugs were summarized,and the new development trend and direction for prevention and treatment necrotic enteritis was objective analyzed, aiming to establish a comprehensive understanding of the disease,provide references for prevention and treatment of the disease.
