What are the symptoms of gumboro disease of chickens?
Gumboro disease is a viral infection that affects young chickens. The symptoms of this disease include a droopy demeanor, ruffled feathers, depressed mannerisms, and odd pecking behaviors in the early stages. Later symptoms include hemorrhaging, bursal lesions, and dehydration.
What is the protocol of the intermediate plus vaccine against GUMBORO?
The protocol for the intermediate and intermediate plus vaccines for the gumboro disease depends upon the maternal derived Antibody levels (MDA). MDA level is calculated on the basis of titers in the day 1 to day 3 chicks by the labortory and then by using the De lavander formula you can calculate the day of vaccination for IBDV (Gumboro disease). Normally the protocol used is at day 7 vaccinate the chicks with intermedite vaccines and the at day 14 vacccinate the chicks with intermediate plus vaccines.
What diseases are chicken and ducks at most risk of?
There is many diseases that chickens can get: Marek's Disease, Laryngotracheitis, Newcastle/ Bronchitis, Coccidiosis, Bursal (Gumboro) and the Avian Encephalomyelitis (AE) and Fowl Pox Disease. Marek's is a global problem of domestic chickens. It affects the nervous system, organs, and other tissues. There is no treatment for the infected. Vaccinate chickens as soon as possible. Laryngotracheitis is an acute and highly contagious disease where gasping and spitting up blood happens. Choke to death. Vaccinate chickens at 4 weeks of age. Newcastle/ Bronchitis affects the respiratory system and is highly fatal. Vaccinate chickens at 2 weeks and again 2 weeks later. Coccidiosis is due to protozoon virus that remain dominant in the ground until the right host comes along---chickens. feed medicated feed or vaccinate and don't feed medicated feed. Bursal (Gumboro) Vaccine helps chickens immune system. Vaccinate at 7 and 21 days of age. Avian Encephalomyelitis (AE) and Fowl Pox Disease is where the hens pass neurological disorders and mortality off to there offspring. Vaccinate in the wing web.
