  There is no “best antibiotic” for pullorum disease.

  Why?

  Pullorum is caused by Salmonella pullorum.

  Treatment with antibiotics is not recommended because birds become carriers and keep spreading the disease. �

  MSD Veterinary Manual

  What is done instead (best practice):

  Culling (removal) of infected birds

  Strict biosecurity

  Use disease-free chicks/hatchery

  About antibiotics (only temporary use):

  Some drugs like Amoxicillin or Ampicillin may reduce symptoms, but do not cure or eliminate carries.
