Features: This book focuses on introducing practical on-site rapid diagnostic techniques, aiming to be well-organized, concise, and illustrated, enabling readers to "identify diseases from pictures and treat them accordingly." While not elaborating extensively on laboratory diagnostics, it provides suggestive introductions, helping readers understand which diseases require which samples and what laboratory tests should be conducted. The section on chicken disease prevention is a distillation of the author's practical experience. Newcastle disease, also known as Asian chicken fever (commonly referred to as chicken fever or wheezing chicken), is a severe infectious disease caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and is currently the most harmful infectious disease to the poultry industry in China.
