Infectious bronchitis

Symptom of infectious bronchitis may be irregular egg shape.
The main symptoms are:
- depressed state;
- coughing and wheezing;
- complete absence of eggs or a noticeable decrease in productivity.
Important! This disease can also occur without any special symptoms, except for a decrease in the productivity of the hens by 30-50% (although the available eggs mostly come out of irregular shape). The final diagnosis can only be made by a veterinarian.
Bursal disease
Bursal disease (or Gumboro disease) is a viral disease that manifests itself in the destruction of white blood cells, which significantly reduces the immunity of birds. It is very easy to get infected with a virus, either through simple contact with the affected animal, or through food and water.
As soon as the bird has become infected, there is a sharp decrease in the protective functions of the body and the birds become targets for diseases like coccidiosis or enteritis, which can even lead to the death of the family.
The main symptoms of Gumbore disease are considered to be:
- profuse white diarrhea;
- weakness and loss of appetite;
- severe dehydration;
- shiver.
