Poultry disease

[Saviour Uyinosa]

Thank you Ola.

Diagnosis:

Observe symptoms (e.g., respiratory distress, diarrhea, lethargy, reduced egg production).

Consult a veterinarian for accurate identification—lab tests like PCR, culture, or serology may be needed (e.g., for Mycoplasma gallisepticum).

Differentiate between infectious (e.g., Newcastle disease) and non-infectious (e.g., heat stress) causes.

Isolation:

Separate sick birds immediately to prevent spread, especially for contagious diseases like infectious bronchitis or avian influenza.

Use a quarantine area with separate equipment to avoid cross-contamination.
