Presunto caso de bronquitis infecciosa aviaren las aves del galpón 1 del lote 19005.

Abstract

One of the fastest growing industries in Colombia is poultry farming, however, birds are susceptible to a wide variety of diseases that can affect productivity and thereby produce economic losses, among which is Avian Infectious Bronchitis. This disease is caused by a Coronavirus whose target tissue is the respiratory tract so its main symptoms and injuries are related to this system. Its dissemination through aerosols and / or fomites is carried out quickly. The diagnosis of this disease can be made mainly through the farm's history, symptoms and necropsies, however, the most truthful methods are serology and PCR. Treatments against this virus are ineffective, so prevention and control are the best methods for the non-occurrence of the disease. Vaccination may become deficient due to the ability of the virus to change and adapt, and the multiple existing serotypes. The present clinical case aims to recognize the importance of prevention and control of Infectious Avian Bronchitis, as well as its most relevant characteristics.
