Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Duck viral enteritis (DVE) is a highly contagious disease of migratory waterfowl caused by herpes virus that causes internal bleeding and severe diarrhea and kills many infected birds. The disease is a potential threat to commercially reared, domestic and wild waterfowl. In the present study 67% morbidity rate and 42.2% mortality rate with 45% drop in egg production was observed in the migratory duck flock. The diagnosis was made based on the clinical signs, pathology and supported by the laboratory confirmation. To control further outbreak the healthy birds were vaccinated with live attenuated duck plague vaccine. Keywords: Duck Viral Enteritis, Vaccinated flock, Outbreak, Live attenuated vaccine
