Clinical and Histopathological Investigations on Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Chickens in the Ain Touta Area (Algeria)

IBH is very much pronounce and important disease in broiler specially sensitive to high growth broilers. Such histopathological studies are essential to have differential diagnosis with high degree of ascitis in winter months where shed ventilation are not optimal. In India north ventilation of sheds during winter and warming up the shed due to low environmental temperature get disturbed due to lack of sufficient shed modernization which are expensive for farmers . shed curtains play key factor to maintain the free air flow in open sheds which create hydro pericardium as is seen with IBH. Inclusion body hepatitis or named as Lichi disease in local area is very important for broiler raisers and tremedous financial losses are the results as no corrective steps are productive once the syptoms are seen. However killed IBH vaccination within 3days of chick are also practiced along with breeder vaccinations to have some control . However the layer stocks are not much affected in India as compared to broilers. the present article and the pictures taken are very much important and very good.

Dear Dr Nadir, Thanks, any help

1- In case of Broiler Commercial Chicks, Majority of IBH -Outbreaks or Clinical Case Seen between 2 to 3 rd week. 2- In Case of Broiler Parent Birds (chicks ) - During Brooding , 1-st wk -Suspected. This Difference is well Appreciable or Something Else.

REALLY NICE ARTICLE SIR

dear sirs' i have also came across to many ibh cases in broiler some of which shows symptoms from the first week onward, so in that case killed ibh vaccine doesnt give protection due to lack of vaccine titre, so is there any chances or any future prospects to produce any live ibh vaccines which can protect the bird itself from the first week onward?

It is also available in Bangladesh.

Dear . Sir adeno virus classified into 12 serotype and available commercial vaccine contain serotype 4 only , but no have cross protection between stereotypes except between serotype 4 and 8 so the vaccine not only solution , adeno virus not primary infection always come after immune supressive disease such as IBD , CAV SO i think to control IBH must control immune supressive factor plus bio security measures thanks Dr, Mustafa Ezat .
