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.
Respiratory infections are the most important group of diseases affecting poultry. They occur worldwide but especially in temperate areas during autumn and winter months. Several pathogens may initiate respiratory diseases in poultry, including a variety of viruses, bacteria and fungi. The profitability of the farm is...

1. Introduction Infectious bronchitis (IB) is a contagious viral disease caused by a gamma coronavirus known as infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) [1]. IB is one of the most prevalent respiratory diseases in the poultry industry in Canada and elsewhere and it causes significant mortality and morbidity in both broiler and layer chickens, resulting in significant economic impacts to the poultry industry [2,3]. Moreover, in recent years, the Delmarva (DMV)/1639 variant of IBV has...

Variably depending upon stress, disease challenge laying hens start false laying (ova release in to abdominal cavity) ultimately ending up with mortality due to peritonitis. This problem is comparatively less in early weeks of laying but frequency increases with increase in the age of layers. Please share your experience/ knowledge for control of it. Vaccination against diseases like IB, ND, MG, E. Coli is being done regularly. ...

Respiratory problems are considered one of the most important challenges in poultry farming, with a significant economic and productive impact, not just because of their high morbidity and mortality, but also because of the decrease production and higher seized materials in the slaughterhouse they cause. Furthermore, main reasons for the use of antimicrobials in aviculture are related to respiratory and digestive diseases. ...

1. Introduction In light of the challenges posed by climate change, economic crisis, overpopulation, and high global demand for protein, poultry production emerges as a more environmentally friendly option compared to meat from livestock. It has a lower impact on greenhouse gas emissions and demonstrates higher conversion rates [1]. Additionally, poultry production requires fewer resources and has a faster production cycle, making it an appealing protein source [2]. However, the...

Feed constitutes one of the major costs incurred upon rearing a successful poultry farming. It is usually observed that up to 80% of the total rearing cost in Poultry is constituted by the Feed and thus it becomes imperative to have the best quality feed in order to attain the maximum performance potential of birds. The Feed which is made up of various raw materials can be the first source of infection to the birds. The external contamination of Feed through various means which include...

Conclusion To optimise oxidative status in broilers under challenging environmental circumstances, high levels of antioxidants are required to counteract the negative effects of reactive oxygen species. The addition of either 15 mg/kg vitamin E or 15 mg/kg Selko AOmix to broiler diets containing 10 mg/kg vitamin E diminished an increase in plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (a marker for oxidative status) that may occur in animals in conditions where heat challenge is expected....

With the growing popularity of free range production systems, the incidence of helminth infections has increased in commercial poultry farms in Australia. Adequate control can only be maintained by regular application of commercial anthelmintics. Until very recently, levamisole (LEV) and piperazine (PIP) were the only registered chemicals to treat nematode infections in chickens with no published appraisal of their efficacy status since registration. We report the first formal investigation...
