Newcastle Disease

Newcastle Disease (ND) or also called tetelo, Cekak, pseudo vogelpest, pseudo fowl plaque, ranikhet or avian pneumoencephalitis is a systemic respiratory disease that is acute and highly contagious. This disease can attack broilers and laying hens in all age ranges. In broilers infection often occurs at the age of 3-4 weeks while in layers it occurs before the age of production (0-18 weeks) and after 35 weeks


Gumboro

Gumboro disease or also called infectious bursal disease is a disease that attacks the immune-forming organs of chickens. This disease generally attacks the bursa of Fabricius which is an important organ for the development of the chick's immune system. Generally, this disease attacks chickens aged 0-8 weeks in laying hens with the most sensitive age at the age of 3-6 weeks. Whereas in broilers, this disease can attack at all ages with cases that often appear at the age of 22-28 days


Colibacillosis

Colibacillosis is a disease in chickens caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. This disease attacks chickens in all age groups, from chicks, juveniles/pullets, to adults when they have entered the egg-laying period.


Paratyphoids

Avian paratyphoid or often called paratyphoid is a disease in poultry caused by the Salmonella sp. Paratyphoid will cause acute septicemic disease in young chickens and chronic digestive infections in adult chickens. Paratyphoid causes a decrease in egg production, fertility and hatchability of chickens and the death of embryos and chicks
