poultry diseases one of most important poultry science
in this course I try to combine knowledge from references and academic lectures with field experience
first steps in poultry diseases observing the diseased bird or sick bird and notice the clinical signs
gasping respiratory signs indicate problem in respiratory system
diarrhea indicate problem in digestive system
nervous signs indicate problem in nervous system
differential diagnosis is further step
post mortem examination open the carcass and notice the post mortem lesions
give indication and help IN suspect famous diseases
send blood sample and tissue sample to the lab to confirm the diagnosis
blood sample is taken from wing vein with sterile syringe
representative sample of the flock according the number of the flock the sample are taken randomly
for Elisa test for A titer for Nd /IB/IBD/AI
tissue sample are taken under sterile condition and impressed o FTA or send the sample to lab in ice bags
