Biosecurity misconceptions

Biosecurity basics and levels

Risk factors for mycoplasma transmission

Salmonella sources

Litter and hatchery

Health stds of purchased breeder stock? Wild birds and rodents?

Insects? Poultry house stds?

Equipment and people in biosecurity?

Suspect flocks

Mgt practices v. biosecurity

Traceability? Upgrading health status?

Disease investigation

Big liver spleen disease in Australia

Heptatitis Splenomegaly Syndrome in North America

Herpesvirus

Herpes virus problem? Clinical assessment?



Herpes virus diagnosis

Reticuloendotheliosis Virus (REV)

Calicivirus- Herpesvirus?? Epi??

HEV (Avian Hepatitis E Virus)



Mgt influence on disease… Adjustments?

Mgt Problems

oral lesions- mgt? Peritonitis in layer in Broiler Breeders?



Smallest birds get peritonitis?

Mgt of hen body weight from 12-24 weeks to control the ovary

Ovarian control problems & prevention?

AGP removal? (antibiotic growth promoters)

Genetic resistance

Leg problems in broiler breeders? Feed distro and leg problems?

Tenosynovitis

Beak trimming in female breeders

Removal of AGP management




Cholangiohepatitis
Associated conditions to necrotic enteritis

Lead poisoning




* Turkeys are susceptible
* Zoonotic
* Transmission
- Environment, pigs and sheep, skin trauma

Expression of septicaemic diseases

Fowl Cholera or Pasteurellosis

* Control
- Carriers (avian and non-avian)
- Vaccination: Commercial killed vaccine (serotype 1 and 3); autogenous vaccines; gene knock out live vaccine







Salmonellosis - Pullorum disease

Salmonellosis- Fowl Typhoid

Salmonellosis- Paratyphoid Importance? Signs and lesions?

Horizontal transmission– faeces– egg– chicks, feed litter etc. Wild birds, other animals
Signs and Lesions
- minimal in adult birds
- reduced hatchability
- young birds

Salmonellosis- Paratyphoid Diagnosis? Tx? and Control?

Yersiniosis

Erysipelas

Staphylococcosis

Coliform Septicaemia

Tick Fever (spirochaetosis)

Other bacteria associated with septicaemia

Avian Influenza

Avian Influenza as an exotic disease

Duck Virus Enteritis

Diagnosis and control of PD and FT


Control
Breeder farm– shedders, dirty eggs
- Hatchery
Prevention: prevent entry– feed, wild birds/ rodents, increased resistance in birds, competitive exclusion, vaccination






Salmonellosis

* Barn
* Treatment: Penicillin

Septicaemic diseases

Colibacillosis

Acute (colisepticaemia)
Subacute/chronic (localised)


Coligranuloma
Control: hygiene, predisposing factors, vaccination

Anatipestifer, New duck disease



Antigenic drift v. antigenic shift
Birds to birds accepted, birds to humans accepted, but human to human not proven


49
“ Over the past two and a half centuries, 10 to 20 human
influenza pandemics have swept the globe; the most
devastating, the so
-
called Spanish flu of 1918 to 1919,
caused more than 20 million deaths and affected more
than 200 million people. Both pandemics probably
originated from aquatic birds.”




AIV



Diseases of the CV system

Diseases of the CV system- Heart, blood vessels, haematopoietic system
* Cardiomyopathy
* Acute heart failure (SDS)
* Chronic heart failure (ascites)




Cardiomyopathy
* Increased metabolic/ growth rate
* Reduced oxygen tension
* Genetic predisposition
* Infectious
* Nutritional
* TOxic (sodium, furazolidone, ionophores)
Signs: per-acute/acute and chronic cases


* sudden death syndrome or flip over syndrome
* Fast growing males



Other causes of ascites

* Increased vascular pressure
* blockage of lymphatic drainage

Myocarditis



Diseases of haematopoietic system
