Clinical Cases in Poultry Medicine

This diagnostic manual bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-life flock investigations by presenting poultry medicine through authentic clinical cases encountered in commercial and backyard poultry systems. Each case follows a uniform format which includes flock history, clinical signs, necropsy findings, diagnostic evidence based on gross pathology and history, differential diagnoses, tentative diagnosis, treatment, and preventive recommendations. Throughout, the emphasis is on clinical reasoning, but not routine memorization. Rich full-colour photographs of lesions and field conditions support rapid diagnosis and experiential learning.

The cases cover broilers, layers, breeders, and backyard flocks, addressing infectious diseases, nutritional and metabolic disorders, and management failures. Integrating clinical medicine, pathology, nutrition, epidemiology, and management, the book offers a unique, practice-oriented resource for veterinary undergraduates, postgraduate trainees, and field veterinarians.
