Methods of Diseases diagnosis in the farm.
*Clinical diagnosis involves looking for clinical signs by Examination of morphological part of the birds, feacal Examination, etc.
*Post mortem Examination involves Examination of visceral organs such as lung ,heart, liver, kidney, spleen, intestines, for certain infection lesions which there conditions are deviated from normal conditions.
*Laboratory diagnosis involves taking serum or blood samples of infected birds for serology test. For example,ELISA test.
As for treatment, use of Antibiotics for treatment of bacterial infections,
Coccidiostats for eimeria infections.
Mycotoxins drugs for treatment of Fungi infections.

Necrotic enteritis is a bacterial infection caused by poor litter management and transmission from infected birds Laterally to other birds.
The birds get infected when feeding on dirty litter with infected bacteria.

Important facts

Thanks
-
Focus on house hygiene and litter management, biosecurity and coccidiosis vaccines into flock.
-
Treatment
Vaccination
Anti coccidiosis
-
probiotics are good alternative of antibiotics so reducing the antibiotic resistance in birds,animals and ultimately humans.
excellent source for gut health and performance leading to good production
