Infectious Bronchitis

Cause - Virus spread through air or via contaminated
material.



Symptoms - Chicks: sneezing, gasping, mucus, clicking
heard in throat, discharge from nostrils and eyes. Layers: egg production drops
abruptly by 10 to 50 percent, remaining production poor quality (thin shells,
misshapen, watery whites). In chicks, mortality may be 5 to 60 percent; in
mature birds, zero to two percent.



Treatment - None for the infection. Antibiotics can be
given to lessen complications.



Prevention - Following nearby outbreaks, vaccines, if
recommended by local authorities, can be used in accordance with their
recommendations and schedules
