Features: This book breaks conventional classifications for avian diseases, not categorizing them as common, infectious, or parasitic diseases. Instead, it groups them into eight chapters based on primary clinical manifestations: Digestive Abnormalities, Respiratory Abnormalities, Neurological Abnormalities, Anemia, Cachexia, and Tumors, Movement Abnormalities, Skin Abnormalities, Ophthalmic Disorders, Reduced Egg Production, and Embryonic Abnormalities. It introduces 140 avian diseases, providing detailed explanations of the etiology (or life cycle of pathogens, toxicology), clinical symptoms, pathological changes, diagnostic key points, differential diagnosis, and prevention and control measures for each disease. In the differential diagnosis section, it selects diseases with similar symptoms but distinct differences to distinguish them. At the end of each chapter, it lists avian diseases with similar symptoms to the chapter, offering clues for differential diagnosis. The prevention and control measures are also widely collected for reference. This book is of practical application value and reference significance for grassroots veterinarians and large-scale poultry farms.
