The main routes of disease transmission in a poultry farm include direct contact between birds, where pathogens can spread through droppings, respiratory secretions, or physical interactions. Indirect transmission can occur via contaminated equipment, clothing, or feed, as well as through vectors like insects and rodents. Environmental factors, such as contaminated water sources or bedding, also play a significant role in spreading diseases among flocks.
