bordetellosis<\/span><\/b>, also known as turkey coryza or turkey rhinotracheitis, is an upper respiratory infection caused by the bacterium <\/span>bordetella avium<\/em>. this disease affects turkeys and, rarely, broilers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the infection can be transmitted from bird to bird within a flock. transfer of the disease between flocks typically occurs as a result of human activity, but it can also result from contaminated drinking water, feed, or litter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

clinical signs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

indications of infection typically appear when poults (young turkeys) are two to six weeks of age. infected birds sneeze with a clear, watery discharge, breathe with mouths open, and have tracheal rales, altered vocalizations, and swollen eyes that appear foamy and\/or watery.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

this disease can be treated with antibiotics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

prevention and control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

if your flock experiences an outbreak of bordetellosis, it is recommended that you clean and disinfect the waterers and chlorinate the water. improved sanitation and <\/span>biosecurity<\/a> are important aspects of disease prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
