Diagnosis of Turkey Diseases

Turkeys are susceptible to various health disorders and infectious diseases, which can result in significant economic losses. Examples of the main problems in turkeys are respiratory manifestations, enteric disorders and diseases, locomotory disturbances, nervous manifestations, and a drop in egg production. The causes of these conditions can range from infectious and noninfectious causes such as housing structure, climate, stocking density, and hygiene. Each of these factors can impact the overall health of the flock, either positively or negatively, and should be carefully managed. In this chapter, we will discuss the causes of the main problem in turkey production, diagnostic approaches, and prevention and control strategies.
