The document summarizes Uganda's laws and regulations regarding the movement of livestock within and outside districts. It outlines the process farmers must follow to legally move livestock, which involves obtaining confirmation of ownership from local authorities, health inspections and certificates from veterinary officers, and permits. International livestock movement requires permits issued directly by the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. The laws are intended to control the spread of disease and facilitate livestock trade and tracking.
There are four main types of disease affecting poultry: metabolic and nutritional diseases; infectious diseases; parasitic diseases; and behavioural diseases.
Metabolic and nutritional diseases
These are conditions caused by a disturbance of normal metabolic functions either through a genetic defect, inadequate or inappropriate nutrition or impaired nutrient utilisation. These include Fatty Liver Syndrome, Perosis (or slipped tendon), Rickets and Cage Layer Fatigue.
Infectious diseases
An infectious disease is any disease caused by invasion of a host by a pathogen which subsequently grows and multiplies in the body. Infectious diseases are often contagious, which means they can be spread directly or indirectly from one living thing to another. These include Avian Encephalomyelitis, Avian Influenza, Avian Tuberculosis, Chicken Anaemia Virus Infection (or CAV), Chlamydiosis, Egg Drop Syndrome (or EDS), Fowl Cholera (or Pasteurellosis), Fowl Pox, Infectious Bronchitis, Infectious Bursal Disease (or Gumboro), Infectious Coryza, Infectious Laryngotracheitis, Lymphoid Leukosis, Marek’s Disease, Mycoplasmosis, Necrotic Enteritis, Newcastle Disease and Salmonellosis.
Parasitic diseases
Parasitic diseases are infections or infestations with parasitic organisms. They are often contracted through contact with an intermediate vector, but may occur as the result of direct exposure. A parasite is an organism that lives in or on, and takes its nourishment from, another organism. A parasite cannot live independently. These include Coccidiosis, Cryptosporidiosis, Histomoniasis, Lice and Mites, Parasitic Worms (or Helminths), Toxoplasmosis and Trichomoniasis.
Behavioural diseases
Abnormal behavioural patterns can lead to injury or ill health of the abnormally behaving bird and/or its companions. These include Cannibalism (or aggressive pecking).
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is an infectious systemic disease that presents as a variable complex of lesions affecting mainly ruminants and rarely swine. It is principally a disease of domestic cattle, water buffalo, Bali cattle (banteng), American bison, and deer. In addition to these farmed animals, MCF has been described in a variety of captive ruminants in mixed zoologic collections.MCF results from infection by one of several members of a group of closely related ruminant gammaherpesviruses of the Rhadinovirus genus.

Phytogenic feed additives as an alternative to antibiotics in poultry dietsDeepak Nelagonda
Use of antibiotics as growth promoters is an age old process but due to many factors thrust for the search of alternative to antibiotics is growing, 'phytogenic feed additives' are one of the possible domains which could address the issue if they could be properly explored.
A nutritional deficiency may be due to a nutrient being omitted from the diet, adverse interaction between nutrients in otherwise apparently well-fortified diets, or the overriding effect of specific antinutrients.

Differential Diagnosis, Coccidiosis & Severe Gumboro Symptoms.
Actually, Coccidiosis and Gumboro is a common disease affecting chickens at a young age and very easily distinguished and diagnosed. BUT, some of the conditions case we get something different, not as usual.
But,...Consider the slide carefully, what’s your conclusion, if you diagnose a disease does not perform a necropsy, just by looking at clinical symptoms or physical exams?

Breeding, marketing and sale of dogs has come to stay as a high-level commercial venture in India, involving thousands of breeders and pet shops in a multi-crore industry. An enormous need has also emerged for lakhs of pups of specific breeds from prospective pet owners, most of whom are ignorant regarding the basics of healthcare and management of dogs.

LAWS GOVERNING MOVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK & PRODUCTS IN
1.
2. CONTENT:
Introduction.
Inter-district movement of livestock for breeding.
Movement within the district –inter sub-county.
Inter-district movement of livestock for slaughter.
International livestock Movement.
3. Livestock movement is
governed by the
Animal Disease Act
1964 with amendment
2001.
It helps to control
spread of Animal
diseases ,Livestock
theft and tracking
Livestock trade.
The Animal Disease Act
1964 allows only a
trained veterinary
staff to authorize
movement of
livestock after the
parish chief or sub-
county chief has
confirmed the
ownership .
NB: It is therefore
unlawful for the L.C
Chairpersons to issue
letters authorizing
movement of
livestock.
INTRODUCTION:
4. a) The owner first
gets a letter from
the LC confirming
livestock
ownership.
b) The owner takes
the letter from the
LC to the parish
Chief who issues
a verification of
ownership letter
to the veterinary
staff.
NB: Every farmer
should have a register
where the parish chief
regularly updates the
number and type
livestock owned by
the farmer.
c) The owner then
requests the DVO for
a no objection letter
which is taken to the
DVO of district of
destination.
1.MOVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK FOR BREEDING OUTSIDE
THE DISTRICT.
5. d) Livestock is then
inspected ,treated and
issued with a health
certificate confirming that
they conform to the
required health standards.
e) Upon fulfilling of the
requirements of the DVO
of the district of
destination, the DVO of the
place of origin issues a
movement permit allowing
the movement of livestock.
This permission indicates
the following:
The period of which this
permit will remain valid.
The stock route to be
used during movement.
The livestock number
by type ,age and sex.
The purpose of
movement.
The name
,title,signature,stamp
and telephone contact
of the veterinary officer.
1.MOVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK FOR BREEDING OUTSIDE
THE DISTRICT.
6. The veterinary staff
will allow the
movement of
livestock upon
confirmation of
ownership from
the LC
Chairperson and
when the health of
the livestock meet
the required
standards.
2.MOVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK WITHIN THE
DISTRICT:INTER-SUBCOUNTY.
7. This type of livestock
may not require a
letter of no
objection from the
place of destination
except evidence
that they met the
required health
standards on the
market day.
This permission is
may be given by
the DVO or any
other vet staff who
he may have
allowed to do so.
It is only licensed
Livestock traders
with valid licenses
who are allowed to
be issued with this
permit.
3. MOVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK FOR SLAUGHTER
PURPOSES OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT.
8. The movement permit
and other letters are
issued only by the
commissioner Animal
Health at the Ministry
Headquarters.
Laws and regulations
governing movement of
livestock products like
Milk ,Hides and Skins,
Blood ,Ghee and Semen
are similar to those used
by live animals.
4.INTERNATIONAL LIVESTOCK MOVEMENT.
9. It is only the Ministry (MAAIF) with the
mandate to print and issue permit
