"Poultry Farming Diseases"

Abstract

Poultry farming is a thriving agricultural sector that involves raising domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese for meat and egg production. With increasing consumer demand for high-protein food sources, poultry farming has emerged as one of the fastest-growing industries, offering significant economic opportunities. Farming systems range from free-range and semi-intensive to intensive commercial setups, each requiring proper management for optimal productiv

The broiler industry (for meat production) and layer farming (for egg production) are expanding rapidly, driven by urbanization and rising dietary preferences. However, disease outbreaks remain a critical challenge, affecting bird health, productivity, and farm profitability. Effective disease management relies on strict biosecurity measures, proper sanitation, vaccination programs, and nutritional support. Regular disinfection of poultry houses, water tanks, and feeding systems using 200 ppm chlorine solution helps prevent bacterial growth. Additionally, herbal antimicrobials like garlic extract, turmeric, and probiotics enhance immunity and reduce dependency on antibiotics

As scientific advancements continue to refine poultry farming, genetic selection, improved feed formulations, and sustainable disease prevention strategies are shaping the future of the industry. Recent genomic research reveals that modern poultry species trace their lineage to wild junglefowl, further reinforcing their adaptability and economic significance. By implementing best farming practices and disease control strategies, poultry farmers can ensure higher productivity, profitability, and long-term sustainability in this vital sector.

As poultry farming continues to evolve, advancements in breeding techniques, nutrition, and disease prevention are shaping the industry’s future, ensuring sustainable production to meet the rising global demand
