Mastering Hatchery Vaccination for Bronchitis Control
Infectious bronchitis (IB) remains one of the most economically damaging viral diseases in poultry, affecting broilers, layers, and breeders through respiratory distress, poor performance, and significant drops in egg quality. Effective hatchery vaccination has become a cornerstone of prevention, ensuring chicks receive early protection before encountering field challenges.
Newcastle disease
Newcastle disease is caused by a virus belonging to the family of Paramyxoviridae; it is an avian paramyxovirus of serotype 1 (APMV-1). It affects wild birds and
domestic poultry and usually presents as a respiratory disease. Depression, nervous manifestations, or diarrhea may also be the predominant clinical symptoms and mortality.

Infectious bursal disease
Gumboro disease, also known as infectious bursal disease (IBD), is a highly contagious disease of young chickens. Today, the very virulent
form is predominant in most countries, and variant strains of IBD are present in several countries, leading to sub-clinical forms of the disease.

Coccidiosis
Coccidiosis is a disease caused by Eimeria parasites commonly observed in mammals and birds' intestinal tract. In chickens and turkeys,
infection by this parasite is costly to both the producer (higher feed conversion ratios, depressed growth and increased flock mortality) and the industry
