In response to the ongoing H5N1 avian influenza outbreak and questions surrounding the use of vaccination to control the disease, several experts from the American Association of Avian Pathologists (AAAP) created a fact sheet on H5N1.
University of Georgia researchers, led by Maricarmen Garcia, PhD, have developed a new genotyping assay for analyzing clinical samples of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV). Identifying the genotype of the outbreak-related virus and determining its genetic relationship to field or vaccine strains is key to diagnosing ILTV.
Coccidiosis ranks in the top 10 poultry health concerns worldwide, and the cost of its control can be significant. Kayla Price, PhD, poultry technical manager, outlined points to consider and how to build an arsenal of alternative products to manage coccidiosis in poultry flocks.
Two direct-fed microbials (DFMs) have shown promise in reducing health problems associated with Enterococcus cecorum in broilers.
What is the best way to safeguard poultry health across a wide range of production systems and management teams? That’s a question Rick Phillips, DVM, MAM, director of poultry professional services veterinarians at Boehringer Ingelheim, has explored for more than 25 years while working with live-production teams across the US.

The first episode of the new “Unplucked” podcast produced by the Poultry Science Association (PSA) took on the topic of battling highly pathogenic avian influenza with guest Craig Rowles, DVM, general manager, Versova Farms.
One of the many challenges affecting layers is APEC, an opportunistic challenge that impacts at least 30% of commercial flocks in the US, resulting in decreased egg production, increased bird mortality and significant economic losses. Cargill Animal Nutrition has introduced Biostrong™ C-Protect

Every year, turkey producers lose more than $2 million to Histomoniasis (blackhead disease) alone due to high mortality rates and decreased flock performance. With limited industry investment to address turkey health challenges, turkey producers need solutions.
The avian flu virus continues to affect poultry producers and dairy farms in 2025. In North Carolina alone, the virus has resulted in the loss of millions of birds on poultry farms. Meanwhile, less than a year after avian flu was first detected in dairy herds, a new strain of the virus has been found in Nevada cows. Matt Koci, PhD, a virus expert and professor with NC State University’s Prestage Department of Poultry Science, offers insights.
Enteritidis is one of the most common serotypes of Salmonella globally and is historically associated with poultry. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistance is making it more challenging to treat.
