In December 2010, infection with a H9N1 low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) virus was detected in broiler breeder flock East Anglia. Disease suspicion based on acute drops egg production two of four sheds the premises, poor shell quality and evidence diarrhoea. LPAI confirmed by real‐time reverse transcription PCR. Sequencing revealed high nucleotide identity 93.6 per cent 97.9 contemporary North American H9 Eurasian N1 genes, respectively. Attempted isolation embryonated specific...
Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess whether broiler breeders vaccinated in ovo with a Vaxxitek (HVT&IBD) (Merial) plus an inactivated IBD vaccine prior the onset lay had significantly different humoral antibody response solely ovo. In addition, maternally derived (MDA) passed progeny these two flocks also compared at three time points during lay. Design case–control where were same breed, reared on farm and transferred laying farm, only difference between being vaccination...
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved proteins, shown to protect organisms against physical and physiological stress. TEX-OE(®) is a patented total extract of the fruit Opuntia ficus indica, which has been demonstrated accelerate development HSPs in several animal species. One-day-old commercial broiler chicks were treated with TEX-OE(®); HSP was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), large field trial investigated key performance indicators (KPIs) versus untreated...
Sudden onset high mortality was reported in eight‐day‐old Pekin ducklings. Initial investigations failed to confirm a definitive diagnosis due the lack of gross pathological signs and limited microbiological screening postmortem samples. Poor quality top‐up bedding likely source Aspergillus infection, final mortalities flocks were 60 per cent 52 cent. Investigation into high‐mortality episodes ducklings should include for fungal infections even if there are no clinical or on examination...
