With AeroCollect’s medium metabolic profile, you can analyze five common pathogens affecting chicken flocks:
Gain valuable insights into the health of your flock with our comprehensive analysis.
Avian nephritis virus (ANV)
Avian nephritis virus (ANV) is an infectious disease in poultry, caused by astrovirus. It affects kidney function and reduces productivity. It mainly impacts young birds, leading to symptoms like diarrhea and dehydration. Subclinical disease is also common.
Chicken Anemia Virus (CAV)
Chicken Anemia Virus (CAV), also known as Blue Wing Disease (not to be confused with gangrenous dermatitis), damages blood and immune cells, leading to anemia and immunosuppression in chickens. The disease occurs in young chicks without MDA (maternal antibodies). The disease is often represented in co-infection with reovirus.
Symptoms include weight loss, anemia, and depression. Mortality can be increased. Infected chickens may display blue wings due to decreased blood clotting. Chicks can often recover, but secondary infections can worsen the disease.
Chicken Astrovirus
Chicken astrovirus primarily causes disease in young birds and gives rise to symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract and retarded growth. Vertical transmission at the hatchery leads to the disease White Chick Disease. No treatment exists and prevention is key
Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV)
Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) is highly contagious, and morbidity can reach 100% in the poultry flock. In addition to respiratory clinical signs, a drop in egg production can be seen, and eggs can appear misshapen.
Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV)
Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV), also known as Gumboro, affects the immune system of young chickens, typically age 3-6 weeks. The virus is highly contagious and immunosuppressive, leading to decreased production. Birds show ruffled feathers and depression.
