Rhinotracheitis in turkey poults.

R K Page, O J Fletcher, P D Lukert

    Avian Diseases
    |July 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    A severe respiratory disease caused high turkey mortality due to airway blockage. Infectious bursal disease antibodies were detected, alongside Newcastle disease in unvaccinated flocks.

    Area of Science:

    • Avian pathology
    • Veterinary virology
    • Poultry disease research

    Background:

    • Describing a severe upper respiratory disease in young turkeys.
    • High morbidity and mortality observed in affected flocks.

    Observation:

    • Deaths resulted from asphyxiation due to blocked trachea or nostrils.
    • Postmortem lesions included tracheitis, pulmonary edema, and enlarged liver and spleen.
    • Significant reduction in bursa size, bursal necrosis, and tracheal epithelium loss were noted.

    Findings:

    • Antibody to infectious bursal disease (IBD) confirmed by agar-gel precipitin and virus-neutralization tests.
    • Agar-gel precipitin and virus-neutralization tests detected IBD antibodies in affected flocks.
    • A geometric mean titer of 31.5 for Newcastle disease was found in unvaccinated five-week-old turkeys.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the impact of infectious bursal disease on turkey health.
    • Suggests potential co-infection or differential diagnosis considerations with Newcastle disease.
    • Informs veterinary diagnostics and disease management strategies for commercial turkey production.
