Abstract :

Disease control in broilers and layers ensures that birds raised for meat and eggs are healthy and productive. Vaccinations are essential for preventing diseases because they trigger the immune system to produce antibodies that protect against specific pathogens. The most crucial aspects of managing broiler and layer conditions include biosecurity measures, hygienic practices, nutritious diets, and vaccination schedules. A well-balanced diet and strict biosecurity regulations and good hygiene support the bird's immune system. Layers frequently receive vaccinations against egg drop syndrome, infectious bronchitis, Marek's disease, Newcastle disease, and avian influenza. Poultry flocks require regular veterinary care and adaptation monitoring to increase profitability, productivity, and health. Disease control and prevention are enhanced by assessment-based management.
