Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV)

Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) is responsible for turkey rhinotracheitis (TRT) in turkeys and swollen head syndrome (SHS) in chickens. This virus poses significant challenges for poultry producers, particularly in layer flocks, where it can lead to a decrease in egg production and a reduction in egg quality.

Infected turkeys may exhibit respiratory distress and swelling of the head, while layers can suffer from diminished productivity, impacting both their health and the overall economic viability of the operation.

AeroCollect® offers a valuable solution for the surveillance and detection of aMPV within poultry flocks. By efficiently capturing airborne pathogens, AeroCollect® enables poultry producers to conduct proactive monitoring, facilitating early detection of the virus.

Implementing AeroCollect® in your biosecurity measures will help ensure the health of your flock, allowing you to take timely action to mitigate the impact of aMPV and maintain optimal production levels.
