Newcastle Disease
Definition: Newcastle disease
Newcastle disease: an acute febrile contagious disease of fowls. Affected birds suffer loss of appetite, diarrhea, and respiratory problems, and mortality rates are high. It is a notifiable disease. Managing and preventing Newcastle disease is crucial for maintaining poultry health and productivity. Farmers can benefit from implementing biosecurity measures, regular vaccination programs, and proper hygiene practices to reduce the risk of outbreaks. Early detection and rapid response to Newcastle disease can minimize economic losses, ensure healthy flocks, and protect farm profitability.
