PREVALENCE AND ISOLATION OF AVIAN PATHOGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI FROM COLIBACILLOSIS AFFECTED BROILER CHICKEN IN KASHMIR VALLEY
Keywords:
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli, Broiler chicken, Colibacillosis, Isolation, Prevalence.Abstract
The scenario of poultry diseases has also changed with emerging and re-emerging diseases flaring up, thus imposing a threat to the poultry industry. Among poultry diseases, avian colibacillosis caused by Escherichia coli results in huge economic loss in terms of huge mortality. The present study was thus aimed to isolate and identify the Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) and to study its prevalence in broiler chicken of Kashmir Valley, India. A total of 135 outbreaks of colibacillosis in broiler chicken were recorded from three different districts namely Srinagar, Ganderbal and Pulwama. The overall mortality in the flocks was 3.1% and a case prevalence of 25.6% of colibacillosis was reported. The isolation tests were found reliable in the prompt and timely diagnosis of colibacillosis to prevent the huge economic losses of poultry farmers.
