Informe de práctica profesional. Síndrome de hipertensión pulmonar en pollos de engorde ubicados en la Granja Roble 2

Abstract

With the new technological advances in poultry farming also called modernization, we find multiple improvements made in areas of genetics, rusticity and nutrition for different lines of broilers, all this in search of the long-awaited productive efficiency. However, by increasing reproductive and productive parameters that perhaps in earlier times did not seem attainable, other problems associated with such improvement were brought with this. The pulmonary hypertension syndrome, which in turn also receives the title of avian ascites, avian edema and edema of the heights, is perhaps one of the most difficult problems for poultry farmers, because according to figures cited by Aza JG, 2000 affirms that this can reach mortalities of 4 to 36% depending on its geographical location. Of course, it is decided to disclose a clinical case given at the El Roble 2 farm related to the production lot number 19006, in which each stage of the flock was monitored as a means of characterization to get an idea of the incidence of this condition.
