Newcastle Disease (ND)

Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral infection that poses a significant threat to poultry populations. It is caused by avian paramyxovirus-1 (AMPV-1), which can spread rapidly through the air, as well as via contaminated feed, water, and equipment.

Infected birds may exhibit a range of severe symptoms, including respiratory distress, neurological signs, and diarrhea, often resulting in high mortality rates. Additionally, layers affected by the virus may experience decreased egg production and may lay deformed eggs, impacting overall productivity and economic viability.

Given the rapid spread and serious implications of Newcastle disease, fast detection is essential for effective management and control. AeroCollect® offers an innovative solution for confirming the presence of the virus within a flock. By efficiently capturing airborne pathogens, AeroCollect® enables poultry producers to conduct timely surveillance and implement necessary biosecurity measures.
