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.
Avian chlamydiosis is a zoonotic disease occurring among birds especially turkey and pigeons, characterized by respiratory, digestive, or systemic infection. It was earlier known as ‘Psittacosis’ or ‘Parrot fever’ since the disease originally recognized in psittacine birds and humans in contact with these birds. The term ‘Ornithosis’ was introduced in 1941, to refer to chlamydial disease in, or contracted from, domestic poultry...

A polymelus monster was observed in farm mainly described as Polymelia is a birth defect involving limbs (a type of dysmelia), in which the affected individual/animal has more than the usual number of limbs. In poultry upto 3 legs has been observed but this has four legs and the point to be noted that it has survived for five weeks and still alive. The extra limb is most commonly shrunken and/or deformed but not in this case as it too looks healthy the bird has...

New Poultry CRC research is aimed at developing a non-invasive test to assess welfare status in birds. The project is led by joint project leaders Drs Tamsyn Crowley and Anthony Keyburn, from Poultry CRC participants, Deakin University and CSIRO, respectively. Anthony and Tamsyn plan to use cutting-edge genetic technology to create a new test, which will exploit the properties of small non-coding ribonucleic acids (RNAs), called microRNAs or...

It's not mother's milk, but egg yolk may be the closest remedy for boosting the immune system of newly hatched chickens against infectious diseases such as coccidiosis.
A major disease of chickens, coccidiosis is caused by intestinal parasites—single-celled protozoans in the genus Eimeria. Disease-affected birds are unable to absorb feed or gain weight, costing the poultry industry more than $600 million annually in the United States and $3...

WHAT IS GOUT? Gout is a metabolic disorder associated with kidney. Visceral form of gout is commonly noticed in broilers resulting economic losses due to mortality and morbidity. In gout, the kidney function is slowed down to a point where uric acid accumulates in blood and body-fluids. Further, it leads accumulation of white uric acid or urate -crystals occurs in soft tissues of various organs in body. WHAT ARE TYPES...

THE ROLE OF PLASMIDS IN APEC´S BASIC BIOLOGY
We have found that large plasmids (extrachromosomal ´accessory´ DNA present in some bacteria) are a defining trait of the APEC pathotype, occurring in ~80% of APEC and harboring many of the genes thought to be linked to APEC´s abilities to cause disease and resist therapy. Such plasmids are often transmissible to recipient bacteria, and acquisition of these plasmids...

Introduction
Avian pneumovirus (APV) is the causative agent of turkey rhinotracheitis (TRT) and swollen head syndrome (SHS) in turkeys and chickens, respectively (Buys et al. , 1989). The APV belongs to the family paramyxoviridae which has two subfamilies, the paramyxovirinae and pneumovirinae (Regenmortel et al. , 2000). The first isolate of APV was obtained in South Africa in...
