Vertically transmitted diseases in poultry include bacterial infections like Pullorum disease (
gallinarum biovar Pullorum) and other Salmonella species, Mycoplasma infections like Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and viral diseases such as avian encephalomyelitis (AE), avian leukosis virus (ALV), and chicken anemia virus (CAV). These diseases spread from the breeder to the offspring through the egg or semen, leading to high mortality rates in young birds

To keep chickens cool during extreme heat, provide ample shade, ensure excellent ventilation with fans if possible, and offer constant access to cool, fresh water with ice. Supplement these measures by misting the coop area, providing moist dirt for dust baths, and feeding cooling treats like frozen fruits or vegetables while limiting protein-rich feed

Emerging poultry diseases include novel viral infections like Astrovirus causing fatal gout in goslings, diverse Avian Gyroviruses, and re-emerging threats such as certain strains of Avian Influenza, Newcastle disease, and Infectious Bronchitis.

Pre-heat brooding area & sanitize equipment and surroundings.

Keep water lines clean, ensure good flow and pressure, and provide enough feeder space so all birds can eat and drink comfortably.
