STUDENT OF UVAS(JHANG)

2. There are four major
types of diseases affecting
poultry.
1. Metabolic and
Nutritional diseases
2. Infectious diseases
3. Parasitic diseases
4. Behavioural diseases

3. These are conditions
caused by
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.

5.  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.

7.  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.

10. 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)
