Abstract

A serological survey was carried out to detect and identify the disease present in the indigenous fowl flocks in UPM Quarters, Serdang Jaya, Pucong, Sungei Besi, Kajang, Beranang and Sepang. A total of 25 flocks which comprised of 233 birds were involved in the survey. There was no vaccination practiced in most of the flocks surveyed. The results indicated that the antibody •titre was significant for Infectious Bronchitis (IB) but not for New Castle Disease (ND). More birds were positive for Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection than for Pullorum Disease. Results from the challenge test indicated that the unvaccinated indigenous fowls were also susceptible to virulent strain of New Castle Disease virus. The birds that died from the challenge showed severe visceral lesions. Susceptibility to virulent Infectious Bronchitis virus seem to be less since there was no obvious gross lesion seen on autopsy although some of the IS-challenge birds produced sneezing and rales sound.
