On 15 Swiss poultry farms, broiler flocks, other farm animals, and the environment were examined during consecutive rearing periods to investigate the occurrence and genetic diversity of Campylobacter. Of the 5154 collected samples, 311 (6%) from 14 farms were Campylobacter positive by culture. Amongst the positive samples, 228 tested positive for Campylobacter jejuni and 92 for Campylobacter c...

This study was aimed to find out that broiler chicken farms have problems with antibiotic resistance Citrobacter freundii and determined the prevalence class 1 integron encoding gene. Multidrug collected from among one hundred sixty cloacal swab samples 32 in Blitar for 3 months. The method of bacterial inoculation used MacConkey agar biochemical test conducted by IMViC TSIA test. sensitivity p...

In this study, seroprevalence of avian reovirus (ARV) infections in broiler and broiler breeder chicken farms in Aydin, İzmir and Manisa provinces were investigated. Serum samples (n = 631) collected from 8 broiler breeder and 18 broiler flocks were tested for ARV antibodies using a commercially available ARV Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. The sampled flocks were not vaccinated ...

Background: Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious viral disease which affects the poultry industry. The virus exists in a wide variety of genotypes, and phylogenetic analysis has been used to classify infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains. Aims: The object of the study is a molecular characterization of circulating IBV in Afghanistan as a ...

The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at different ages in commercial boilers. From Oct 2003 to Nov 2004, bursa samples collected from both vaccinated as well non-vaccinated commercially reared broiler chickens suspected of having infectious bursal disease were analyzed for the presence of IBDV using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain ...

campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne diarrhea in many countries. poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. in this study, conventional culture and multiplex pcr methods were compared for the detection of c. jejuni isolated from poultry carcasses. a total of 100 samples, representing 20 broiler flocks, were collected from poultry carc...

Contaminated vaccine is one unexpected and potential origin of virus infection. In order to investigate the most likely cause of disease in a broiler breeder company of Shandong Province, all 17 batches of live-virus vaccines used in the affected flocks and 478 tissue samples were tested by dot-blot hybridization, nested PCR, and IFA. The results suggested the outbreak of disease was most proba...

Inclusion body hepatitis caused by avian adenovirus with highly pathogenic strain lead to heavy mortality and unusual lesion like hydropericardium in commercial broilers. Samples were collected from an outbreak in 12000 broiler flock from Andhra Pradesh with sudden high mortality initiated from 32 days of age. Liver was enlarged and showed petechae. Hydropericardium was extensive. 10% liver sus...
