, Foreword
We first published the “Important Poultry Diseases ”
in 1972 and, ever since, it has remained the most
sought after of all our publications.
However, in the intervening years new causes of disease such
as chicken anemia virus and pneumovirus were identified.
Therefore, Intervet Research teams developed new vaccines
to combat the changed pattern of diseases. Many of these
are inactivated vaccines, in either single or combined form,
resulting in new vaccination programmes. We have, therefore,
produced this fourth edition of the handbook to cover these
developments. It is intended as a pocket reference book for
people working with poultry.
It is not highly academic as it is written from a practical angle
to assist with every day problems in the field.
Intervet Research continues to co-operate with the poultry
industry, worldwide, to stay ahead of disease problems.
The farmer who uses an Intervet vaccine can do so knowing
that it is the best product available.
