The answer to the MG problem in both chickens and turkeys is eradication of the disease organisms. This goal has been achieved in commercial breeding flocks with voluntary programs conducted by the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) and National Turkey Improvement Plan (NTIP). The treatment of CRD, air sac syndrome and the lower form of infectious sinusitis is not considered satisfactory.The answer to the MG problem in both chickens and turkeys is eradication of the disease organisms.

Based on the excerpt from your write-up, I am compelled to pose the following inquiries:
1. What is the significance of the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) and National Turkey Improvement Plan (NTIP) in guaranteeing that day-old chicks from breeder farms are devoid of respiratory infections like Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG)?
2. Is it feasible to effectively treat a flock infected with MG and ultimately eradicate the disease?
3. How can one efficiently address the issue of drug resistance when managing and treating MG?
Thank you, Sir.
