Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the occurrence of different poultry diseases in broilers, layers and sonali chickens at Kishoregonj district in Bangladesh. A total of 1981 chickens either infected or dead were collected and examined to diagnose the diseases. Diagnosis of diseases was made on the basis of history, clinical signs, and postmortem findings and in some cases laboratory examination was performed to confirm the diseases. Overall incidence of infectious bursal disease was the highest (29.32%) in broiler chickens followed by salmonellosis (14.29%), new castle disease (11.78%), infectious bronchitis (9.27%), coccidiosis (6.93%), colibacillosis (6.43%), chronic respiratory disease (4.85%), visceral gout (4.68%), necrotic enteritis (1.59%), mycotoxicosis (0.67%) and infectious coryza (0.08%). In layer chickens prevalence of salmonellosis was higher (30.60%), followed by new castle disease (17.54%), infectious bursal disease (9.16%), coccidiosis (9.16%), chronic respiratory disease (9.16%), colibacillosis (7.01%), fowl cholera (5.26%), infectious bronchitis (4.09%), necrotic enteritis (2.92%), egg peritonitis (1.94%), aspergillosis (1.75%), deficiency disease (1.75%), mycotoxicosis (1.75%), helminth parasites (1.36%), fowl pox (0.97%), infectious coryza (0.97%) and lymphoid leukosis (0.78%). In case of Sonali Chickens infectious bursal disease was the highest (33.95%) followed by salmonellosis (27.31%), new castle disease (19.56%), chronic respiratory disease (11.07%), coccidiosis (10.70%), colibacillosis (8.11%), deficiency disease (4.80%), fowl cholera (3.32%), necrotic enteritis (2.56%), aspergillosis (2.21%), fowl pox (0.74%), helminth parasites (0.74%) and mycotoxicosis (0.37%). In this study it was observed that there was a marked influence of different seasons on the occurrence of different diseases in chickens. In conclusion diversified diseases are prevalent in broilers, layers and sonali chickens. Thus, proper vaccination and bio-security practices and preventive measures are recommended.
