Prevalence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum
Infection in Indian Poultry Farms
M R Reddy
Principal Scientist
2nd International Conference on
Animal & Dairy Sciences
Background
• Mycoplasmas are highly versatile and successful
pathogen
• Chronic Respiratory Disease: Once infected,
infection remains for life
• Mycoplasma lack a cell wall: resistant to
penicillin group of antibiotics
• Antimicoplasmal drugs are bacteriostatic
• Antibodies can not eliminate infection
• Field infection (MG/MS) level is high due to
vertical transmission and low level of biosecurity
• Raising mycoplasma clean flocks is not
practicable
Major pathogenic species
M. gallisepticum - Chickens, Turkeys
M. synoviae - Chickens, Turkeys
M. meliagridis - Turkeys
M. iowae - Turkeys
Smallest self replicating prokaryotes
Lack of cell wall, bounded by cell membrane
Fragile – easily killed out side its host by disinfectants
• Costliest Disease in Poultry
• Mortality
• Reduced feed conversion
• Loss of weight
• Complications with – IB, ND, E coli
• Condemnations
• Drop in egg production
• Reduced hatchability & chick viability
• Cost of eradication and control programs
Economic significance
MG related losses
Effect Per cent
Body weight gain 20-30
FCR 10-20
Egg production 5-10
Embryo mortality 5-10
Mortality 5-10
Carcass down grading 10-20
Excluding medication costs
Stipkovits and Kempf (1996)
Transmission
• Horizontal
– Within a flock - contact or aerosols
– Between flocks - windborne
• Vertical
– Parent to the chick through egg
• Venereal
Target organs:
– Respiratory system
– Synovial membranes
– Reproductive system
Incubation period:
– Chronic slow spreading
– Varies from 6-21 days
Clinical Signs
• Coughing, sneezing, Nasal discharge
• Foamy secretions in the eye
• Open mouthed breathing
• Tracheal rales
• Reduced feed consumption
• Loss of weight – more stunted chicks
• Drop in egg production – layer, breeder
• Reduced hatchability, chick viability
• Lameness
• Morbidity – up to 100%
• Mortality – up to 30% in young, negligible in adults
Gross Lesions
• Sinusitis and conjunctivitis
• Tracheitis with excessive mucus
• Airsacculitis
• Pneumonia
• Synovitis
• Osteomyelitis
• Salpingitis
Frothy exudate
in Air sac
Accumulation of
Cheesy mass in thoracic air sac
Complicated Chronic Respiratory Disease
Air-saculitis, Pericarditis, perihepatitis
To determine the prevalence of
M. gallisepticum from different
regions in Indian poultry industry

MG ELISA PLATE
Conclusions
• This study demonstrated the high prevalence of M.
gallisepticum infection in Commercial Layers, Broiler
Parents and Commercial Broilers in all major poultry
growing areas of the country.
• Because of high value of individual parent breeder
hen and their ability to infect progeny by vertical
transmission, economic losses are potentially more
severe when MG infection occurs in breeder flocks.
• The high prevalence and wide distribution of MG
infection warrants development and adaptation of
strategies to prevent or minimize economic impact
of MG infection.
Thank you

  • 37. Conclusions • This study demonstrated the high prevalence of M. gallisepticum infection in Commercial Layers, Broiler Parents and Commercial Broilers in all major poultry growing areas of the country. • Because of high value of individual parent breeder hen and their ability to infect progeny by vertical transmission, economic losses are potentially more severe when MG infection occurs in breeder flocks. • The high prevalence and wide distribution of MG infection warrants development and adaptation of strategies to prevent or minimize economic impact of MG infection.
