Tetrameriasis is a parasitic infection of poultry caused by a parasitic roundworms, Tetrameres spp. The two main species that affect poultry are T. americana and T. fissispina. These parasites specifically target the proventriculus of their avian hosts. The infection can cause significant damage to the proventriculus through nodule formation that can compress the glands, potentially causing atrophy. Continuous feeding by the worms irritates and inflames the proventricular mucosa. These damages can lead to the accumulation of undigested food in the proventriculus, disrupting the digestive process which affects overall feed utilization of the animal.

Chickens can become infected by ingesting an intermediate host, such as grasshoppers, cockroaches, earthworms, or water fleas which are usually present in dirty houses.

The Philippine egg industry faces challenges in production efficiency, such as environmental conditions, biosecurity, manpower shortages, and handling downgrades. Precision farming helps mitigate these through monitoring sensors that regulate temperature, ventilation, and humidity. Adaptive measures are taken during extreme weather, while precise feeding and watering ensure optimal nutrition for hens. Additionally, strict biosecurity protocols minimize disease risks, and improved egg handling reduces downgrades and lowers manpower costs.

To know more about the topic, listen to Dr. Renato Rollan as he discuss his presentation entitled “Precision Egg Farming Under Local Conditions” during Poultry School on September 13, 2024 2:30-3:00pm Plenary Session at The Grand Ballroom, Marriot Hotel Manila, Pasay City.

See you there!

Diagnostic procedures are essential in poultry management for early disease detection, effective treatment, and preventing outbreaks.

The seminar topic of Dr. Dixie Grace Mndz during the Poultry School will cover a disease outbreak in 13-week-old pullets, initially showing high mortality and liver lesions, progressing to hemorrhagic intestines. Various diagnostic tests, including necropsy and PCR, identified the diseases and guided treatment.
