Ep92 – Infectious Bronchitis with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo

By

Today, we are talking with Dr. Gallardo about Infectious Bronchitis.

He’s a Poultry Veterinarian at UC Davis

For those that are new to the show, “Dr. Gallardo” has been on this show multiple times, talking with us about various poultry disease

Such as:

  • Biosecurity
  • Newcastle’s
  • Fowl pox
  • Infectious Coryza
  • Coccidiosis
  • Marek’s

In this episode of Bred to Perfection, we are talking with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo about Infectious bronchitis (IBV), which is an acute, highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens, caused by a type of coronavirus.

This is a disease that can be found on many yards and farms, without the breeders even knowing it. In most cases, they will confuse Bronchitis with other respiratory diseases, such as Coryza.

What they don’t realize is that Infectious Bronchitis has a huge effect on our brood fowl and their offspring, and can affect the future of our strains. Listen in and learn what you can do to treat and control this disease, and hopefully prevent it. There’s a lot of great nuggets of information that I know you will not want to miss.

Table of contents:

  • Causes
  • Mode of transmission
  • Symptoms – Clinical signs
  • Postmortem lesions
  • Diagnosis – How do we Diagnosis Infectious Bronchitis?
  • Treatment & control
  • Prevention 

There’s a lot of great nuggets of information that I know you will not want to miss.

The Breeders Academy is designed to help breeders like you to create higher quality strains. Breeding is both an art and a science, and I, Kenny Troiano, am devoted to helping you to increase your knowledge of breeding, advance your skills as a breeder, and to improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

If you are like so many, who are forced to start with hybrid crosses or mongrel flocks (usually a cock from one breeder and a hen from another breeder), this website is for you. No longer will you need to rely on other breeders.

I have a program, called the “Founders Program” that will show you step-by-step how to create a true family of fowl, even if you are starting with an established line or with mixed bloodlines. I also have many specialty courses that complement the Founders Program, and are designed to advance your knowledge of breeding.

Interested in learning the art and science of breeding? Good! - Join us at the Breeders Academy today! You have nothing to lose. You have our 30-day, money back guarantee.
