#43 - Understanding and Managing Infectious Coryza in Poultry - Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo Cunazza

Infectious coryza (IC) is a contagious bacterial disease that causes respiratory problems in chickens and hens and can decrease egg production, increase mortality, and decrease poultry growth rates. Considering that it is possible for birds carrying the bacterium to spread it to other susceptible individuals within the flock or to neighboring farms, management practices, biosecurity measures, and vaccination are all part of preventing and controlling IC. In this episode, Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo Cunazza discusses different aspects of IC, including challenges, implications, biosecurity measures, management, vaccination, and treatment.
“It must be a priority to focus on infectious coryza prevention by reducing the loads, doing good vaccination and knowing which strains are floating around and causing the disease." - Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo Cunazza
