The real key to success in the poultry industry is a healthy immune status. Good diseases control is a balance between infectious or non-infectious disease agents and optimal immunity. Immunity is mediated by two immune …

This presentation explains that today’s hatcheries must not look at hatch only. Although, companies seem to make hatch a priority, we all must remember that integrated as well as independent companies are in the meat bus…

In Germany laboratory testing for avian influenza is obligatory for defined, suspicious cases involving rising mortality or sudden decreases of food and / or water consumption or egg-laying.

The third order clade 2.2.1 of H5N1 lineage of HPAIV currently circulating in Egypt has been subdivided into the fourth subgroup 2.2.1.1 (group B variant strains which emerged in 2008 and disappeared by 2011) and 2.2.1.2…

Rapid detection and accurate identification of low (LPAI) and high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) is critical to controlling infections and disease in poultry.

At the beginning of 2016, Morocco faced its first influenza outbreaks in commercial poultry farms caused by avian influenza virus (AIV) H9N2.

The influenza virus type A H9N2 is a low pathogenic strain of avian influenza which has been isolated in different Middle East countries since 1995.

Low pathogenic H9N2 avian influenza virus is one of the major concerns of the Middle-East poultry production.

Vaccines are useful tools to control avian influenza (AI), especially when biosecurity and stamping out strategies alone cannot successfully be implemented.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAI) continue to pose a significant economic disease burden to the poultry sector worldwide.

Since 1959, 42 epizootics of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) have occurred (Figure 1). Thirty-five of these epizootic HPAI viruses were geographically-limited (mostly to single countries), involved farm-to-farm…

Avian influenza viruses are classified as highly pathogenic (HP) or low pathogenic (LP). Haemagglutinin (HA) plays a key role in the pathogenicity of avian influenza virus.

There are many pathogens that can cause disease in poultry, of which viruses remain a key concern. More specifically avian influenza (Orthomyxoviridae family, Influenzavirus A genus) presents a major transboundary viral …

Diversity, flexibility, adaptability: three key features that contribute to the efficient transmission and continued existence of influenza A viruses.

Avian Influenza virus has a worldwide distribution and causes disease presented as different forms, ranging from highly pathogenic AI (HPAI) infections caused by H5 & H7 strains and low pathogenic AI (LPAI) infections ca…

The outlook for the global animal protein industry is bright and poultry is going to be the winning protein in the next decade when the world population expands and incomes rise.

US - The Little Rock feed supplement production plant operated by Novus International, Inc. was recognized for exceptional health and safety management with a special ceremony on April 13, 2017.

Avian influenza (AI) outbreaks are originated by different Hemagglutinin (HA) serotype viruses, including the H5 and H7 that are involved in highly pathogenic (HP) avian influenza.

GLOBAL - Cleaning and disinfection is not only part of an Avian Influenza prevention strategy, it should prevent any disease.
