Poultry diseases
When chickens are healthy they consume less feed and produce more quality eggs. They are less trouble to look after and less money is spent on medical costs. Poultry disease can spread rapidly among chickens because they are usually kept together in the chicken house. The chickens share the same feeders and drinkers, which can spread disease and infections rapidly from sick to healthy chickens. In intensive egg production systems, much focus is placed on the egg laying performance of the flock. Poultry diseases can negatively affect the health and performance of your flock. Important and common poultry diseases include necrotic enteritis, chronic respiratory diseases, gangrenous dermatitis, fowl cholera, and avian influenza.

I faced on a flock that its production stopped about 65% production rate after molting (for about 3 weeks in this percentage). Birds breed are LSL, their first cycle performance was good (more than 90% till 52 weeks of age, FCR about 2.1 till 70 weeks, mortality rate is normal). Molting lasted about 2 months and it was done at 85 weeks of age (because of management decision). Now the flock seems normal in terms of health (we checked ND, AI H9N2 serology). No symptoms are seen. Conditional...

I am a doctor in Pakistan related to poultry feed and I mostly check poultry farms. I have been facing coccidiosis problem from 4 to 5 months in the field. There is mostly litter dry and climate in pakistan is mostly dry. But my poultry farmers face the coccidiosis problem in three or four times during 42 days of flock. This causes great economic losses to them. Mostly I use sulfaquinoxaline or toltrazuril salt in water and clopidol in feed to control and treat coccidiosis but sometimes...

Opinion Decisions taken without objective criteria are not decisions, they are hunches. Some years ago, mathematical models have been developed in our laboratory to help explain the immune response to vaccination programs and understand the damage caused by mycotoxins (highly carcinogenic fungal toxins) in chickens. It was also developed a methodology for the use of artificial intelligence (artificial neural networks) to manage the phenomena that involve this segment of the...

Some of the signs noticed include paleness of the comb, morbidity, greenish yellow diarrhoea with pasty vents and above all sudden death. The moment I first noticed, the chicks were placed on NCO after which mortality reduced and gradually stopped, but...

Egg binding occurs when the egg does not pass through the reproductive system at a normal rate. Egg bound occurs when there is difficulty in laying an egg because of an inflammation of the oviduct or partial paralysis of the muscles of the oviduct and production of a very large egg that can not be laid physically. This is common, and often preventable, problems in broiler breeders and not exposed to a mate, since eggs may be formed and laid without the presence of...
