SYMPTOMS

Bronchitis is essentially manl- fested by slight difficulty in breath int. COIIKIIHIE. smiffllng or new ing. Feed consumption will drop slightly. In young chicks. growth will be retarded and there will be quite a few culls.

it the infect In is not contracted until the bird: are in production, the consequences are more ser- ious. Apart from respiratory trouble. there will be quite a noticeable drop in egg production. This will not be as rapid as in Newcastle disease but it will be more permanent Usually. Pro- duction will not return to much over 50 per cent.

The history of some outbreaks in adult birds suggests that the in- fection may be introduced by the addition of cockerels. Cockerels should. if at all possible, be rais- ed on the same premises as pui- leis with which they will be mated.

lf chickens contract infectious bronchitis any time from 3 weeks of age up to one month before coming into production. the effect will not be serious. as by the time such birds come into production, they will have recovered the at- tack and will be immune.

In some flocks tested during the survey and in which it was evi- dent that they had had bronchitis at some time, the owners report that no signs of the disease had been noticed and that egg produc- tion had been normal. This could be so. as in young birds. especi- ally when on range, the attack of bronchitis may be mild and pass unnoticed unless the flock was frequently observed care- fully when roosting at night.

IMMUNITY

Chicks from hens which have had bronchitis will have some im- munity when hatched. This is re- ferrcd to as parental immu- nity, Such immunity, however. wears off in the course of a week or two and the chicks will then be susceptible.

It is tonsidei-rd that fairly per- manent immunity results from an attack of the disease, or from vac- cinaiion.

VACCINATION

Chickens can be vaccinated against bronchitis. However, the

vaccine is a live virus and the following should be observed.

(ii if chicks have parental im- munity. they can. be vaccinated when 2-3 days of age. Parental immunity provides the young chicks with a degree of resistance and reduces the severity of the vaccine reaction in chicks of that age. Judging from the results of the bronchitis survey, it would seem quite likely that a high per- centage of chicks are hatched from flocks which have bad bron-
