🔹 What is IB?

Infectious Bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious viral disease of chickens caused by a Coronavirus.
It mainly affects the respiratory system, but can also damage the kidneys and reproductive tract.

🔹 Transmission

  • Airborne droplets (sneezing, coughing)

  • Direct contact with infected birds

  • Contaminated equipment, feed, water, clothing

  • No vertical transmission (not passed through the egg)

🔹 Symptoms in Chickens

Chicks & Young Birds:

  • Sneezing, coughing, rales (gurgling sounds)

  • Nasal discharge, watery eyes

  • Huddling, poor growth

  • High morbidity (almost all birds affected), but mortality usually 10–20% (higher if secondary infections occur)

Layers (hens):

  • Drop in egg production (up to 70%)

  • Misshaped, soft-shelled, or thin-shelled eggs

  • Watery egg whites (poor internal egg quality)

Nephropathogenic Strains:

  • Increased water intake

  • Wet litter

  • Swollen kidneys → high mortality

🔹 Diagnosis

  • Based on clinical signs + lab tests (PCR, virus isolation, serology).

  • Often confused with CRD (Mycoplasma), ILT, or ND (Newcastle Disease).

🔹 Treatment

⚠️ No direct cure (since it’s a viral disease).
Management focuses on:

  • Supportive care: vitamins (A, D, E, C), electrolytes, probiotics.

  • Antibiotics (only to control secondary bacterial infections like E. coli).

  • Good ventilation & warm temperature in the shed.

  • Reduce stress.

🔹 Prevention

  • Vaccination is the best protection:

    • Live vaccines (Massachusetts, 4/91, etc.) for chicks.

    • Inactivated vaccines for layers and breeders.

  • Biosecurity: restrict visitors, disinfect equipment, proper ventilation.

  • Good nutrition & management to boost immunity.

✅ Summary:
IB is a viral respiratory disease in chickens that also harms kidneys and egg production. There is no treatment, only supportive care, and prevention relies heavily on vaccination and strict biosecurity.
