Poultry farming plays a vital role in ensuring global food security,
and its success heavily depends on robust veterinary care and
preventive medicine. Poultry Medicine is a specialized textbook
designed for veterinary students, poultry practitioners, researchers,
and professionals engaged in avian health and production. This book
offers a detailed and systematic overview of poultry health,
integrating the principles of preventive medicine, diagnostics, and
clinical management. Beginning with general aspects of prophylaxis and
disease control, it delves into a wide spectrum of infectious
diseases, including viral, bacterial, mycoplasma, fungal, and
parasitic infections, as well as emerging and exotic diseases that
challenge modern poultry production systems. The book also covers
in-depth diagnostic procedures such as sample collection, processing,
and advanced disease identification techniques. A major strength of
this book lies in its comprehensive coverage of organ-system-based
disorders, enabling accurate clinical examination, diagnosis, and
therapeutic strategies. Topics include disorders of the respiratory,
nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, musculoskeletal,
reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems. Special attention is
given to nutritional deficiencies, metabolic syndromes, toxicological
conditions, pain management, and electrolyte/fluid balance, which are
essential for field practitioners. Real-world applications, case-based
discussions, and field-lab correlations enrich the reader’s clinical
acumen and decision-making ability. Whether you're involved in
large-scale poultry operations or rural backyard poultry healthcare,
this book serves as a practical and academic resource, combining the
latest scientific insights with field applicability.
