This document discusses two poultry diseases: Infectious Bursal Disease (Gumboro) and Inclusion Body Hepatitis/Hydropericardium Syndrome (IBH/HPS). Infectious Bursal Disease is caused by a birnavirus and affects the immune organs of young chickens aged 18-40 days, causing depression, diarrhea, and immunosuppression. Lesions include swelling and hemorrhages in the bursa. IBH/HPS is caused by an avian adenovirus and can affect the liver, kidneys, heart and immune organs of chickens aged 3-4 weeks, causing jaundice, hemorrhages, and liver swelling. Both diseases spread rapidly and

Infectious Bursal Disease (Gumboro)

4. Infectious Bursal Disease (Gumboro)
 Spread: Rapid, Acute Contagious
 Clinical Signs: depression, white watery diarrhea, soiled vents,loss of
appetite, ruffled feathers, unwillingness to move,trembling, closed eyes ,
lying down in exhaustion.
 Immunosuppression: High
 PM Lesions: Swollen (oedematous) bursa in the early stages, small and
large haemorrhages on its, inner surface of bursa, Haemorrhages in the
thigh and breast muscles, kidney swelling.
 Mode of treatment: Pulmoliv-BH, Germicida-P, Immutas, Avired.
 Vaccination: should follow.

7.  Causitive Agent: Avian adeno virus
 Predisposing factors: Early infection of IBD, CAV, Feed quality
 Age Affected: usually young chickens, broilers 3 to 4 weeks
 Organs Affected: Liver, Kidney, heart, immune organs
 Morbidity: Low to High
 Mortality: Low to High
 Incubation Period: 3–4 days.
 Transmission Disease: Horizontal, Vertical

Inclusion body hepatits, Hydro pericardium
syndrome (IBH/HPS)

8.  Spread: Rapid, Acute Contagious
 Clinical Signs: Anaemia, jaundice of the skin and subcutaneous fat, haemorrhages in
various organs, especially the muscles, and bone marrow degeneration are usually
present, but vary in severity. Sick birds adopt a crouching position with ruffled feathers
and die within 48 hours
 Immunosuppression: High
 PM Lesions: The liver in diseased birds is pale, friable and swollen, and frequently has
haemorrhages. Hydro pericardium heart.
 Mode of treatment: Pulmoliv-BH, Germicida-P, Immutas, Avired.
 Vaccination: should follow.
