Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Fowl cholera outbreaks in Georgia broiler flocks were caused by Pasteurella multocida serotypes 1,3, 3,4, and 3. These virulent strains led to increased mortality and lameness in affected commercial poultry.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Microbiology
  • Poultry Diseases

Background:

  • Fowl cholera is a significant disease in commercial poultry.
  • Pasteurella multocida is the causative agent of fowl cholera.

Observation:

  • Six broiler flocks in Georgia experienced increased mortality and lameness during summer 1988.
  • Affected flocks were aged 20-46 days, spanning four companies and 50 miles.

Findings:

  • Pasteurella multocida was isolated from affected flocks.
  • Somatic antigen serotyping identified serotypes 1,3 (three cases), 3,4 (two cases), and 3 (one case).
  • Experimental challenge with two isolates confirmed the virulence of P. multocida, causing mortality and lameness in broilers.

Implications:

  • Highlights the prevalence of specific P. multocida serotypes in broiler production.
