Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the occurrence of different
diseases among commercial chickens. A total of 232
commercial chickens were divided into different age groups
and the whole year was divided into three seasons. The occurrence
of parasitic diseases was the highest among layers
(81.9%) and broilers (95.2%). Occurrence of bacterial
diseases (p<0.01) and parasitic diseases (p<0.05) was significantly
lower in summer than rainy and winter seasons.
Viral diseases were observed among 25.2% layers and occurrence
was significantly (p<0.01) higher in pullet stage
(40.9%) compared to laying stage (8.2%). Occurrence of
non-infectious (p<0.01) disease, cannibalism (p<0.05)
and egg bound disease (p<0.05) was significantly higher
in laying stage compared to pullet stage. Bacterial disease
occurrence was significantly (p<0.01) lower in 8-21 days
age group compared to 0-7 days age group of broilers. Occurrence
of viral diseases was significantly (p<0.01) higher
among broilers of 22-35 days age group compared to 0-7
days age group. Several infectious and noninfectious diseases
are prevalent among the commercial poultry of Guibandha
district which can be controlled by effective vaccination
and good management practices.
