Mortality in Kashmir poultry under intestive system of management

Disease profile of a flock of Kashmiri poultry reared under intensive system of management following the standard vaccination and deworming schedule was documented over the period of study spanning over one year. Visceral and articular gout was the single major cause of mortality that could be attributed to nutritional and managemental causes. There was very less mortality on account of infectious disease, thereby indicating that under intensive system of management where vaccination schedule is properly adhered to local poultry suffers from very few disease problems.
