"Can and will Avian Influenza Virus, Newcastle Virus, and IBD be spread by wind, litter or free-flying birds?" This interesting question is discussed in Lohmann Animal Health’s Newsletter, with interesting answers to that ongoing discussion.
Now, with AI arriving in Russia and Kasachstan, and migratory birds preparing for their departure from Siberia to Europe, an answer to that question is more mecessary than before. Yet, other problems, more closely or more acute sometimes, interfere with poultry production. Some of them (necrotic enteritis, coccidiosis, tibial dyschondroplasia, and IBD) are topics of this month's Technical Newsletter.
The interesting papers Lohman Animal Health is currently providing are:
• Involvement of free-flying wild birds in the spread of the viruses of avian influenza, Newcastle disease and infectious bursal disease from poultry products to commercial poultry (by PAUL GILCHRIST).
• Intercurrent coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis of chickens: rational, integrated disease management by maintenance of gut integrity (by R. B. WILLIAMS).
• Tibial dyschondroplasia - tools, new insights and future prospects (by M. PINES, A. RASDAI and E. MONSONEGO-ORNAN).
• Interference Between Mild and Pathogenic Strains of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Chickens (by S. Ashraf, A G. Abdel-Alim, AB M. Q. Al-Natour AC and Y. M. Saifad).
