Necrotic enteritis in poultry

The necrotic enteritis is caused by Clostrium perfringens type C (Gram +) in chickens of all types of raising. In acutedisease isolated anaerobic bacteria (Clostridium perfringens) which are isolated produce α, β, y- toxins.The spores of Clostrium perfringens that are heat stable, can live in boiling water for 2 hours. The disease can be in assocation with coccidiosis disease or occurs after the change of feed. High stock density or transport of animals could cause the disease to occur more rapidly

Avian influenza

The disease is caused by infection with avian influenza type A viruses of orthomyxoviridae. Infection with highly pathogenic strains of avian influenza virus (HPAI) is classified by OIE as type A. The disease caused by H5N1 variant of the avian influenza virus began to occur in 1997. Previously, these viruses occur naturally only among domestic poultry but at the present they can infect waterfowl. Avian influenza viruses have a relatively high mutation and can combine with other types of the viruses co- infect the animals causing great epidemics.

Marek’s Disease (MD) in chickens

Marek’s Disease is a contagious viral disease caused by a DNA virus that belongs to herpes B virus with size of 80 – 100 nm. Certain high virulent strains cause acute disease with high motarlity rates including HPRS 16, 18, 19, 20, JM GA and low virulent strains including HPRS – B14, B 17... The disease spreads from bird-to-bird by direct contact, or via contaminated drinking water and feed by instruments, animal producers. After a week affected chickens sed infected virus Virus is not embryonic transmission but contaminated incubators can spread the disease. The disease can also be transmitted by Turkeys, quails or ducks. The disease mainly occurs in chickens at 2 – 5 months of age.
