  1. Coherent Market Insights If constant R&D activities in the field of veterinary science are done, Marek's Disease can be effectively controlled via vaccination, genetic resistance, and biosecurity Marek's Disease in chickens is a disorder that affects young birds. It generally shows up in chickens during their second year. Although it's not contagious, it can be passed from birds to humans. Chicks are the most common species affected. The disease mainly occurs in the shear or unborn chicken, usually resulting from a bacterial or viral infection. Marek's Disease in chickens can be prevented by recognizing the symptoms and seeking treatment as soon as possible. The disease only shows up when the chickens' nervous system is developing. In most other instances, the disease only shows up as the paralytic form, meaning weakness or complete paralysis of one or both legs. This is why most treatment for Marek's Disease in chickens happens early in the development of the chicken. However, in severe cases, treatment may be delayed until the baby Coherent Market Insights

  2. Coherent Market Insights chicken is older and is able to take care of itself. Usually, within 2 weeks, owners will be able to take the chickens to the vet for treatment. Marek's Disease is usually treated with antibiotics. There are several different types of antibiotics available, depending on the case. If the disease is diagnosed early, it can be treated with an antibiotic called Metronidazole. This treatment is most successful in adult chickens that are still conscious, although it may not work if the chickens are paralyzed or have kidney or respiratory disease. If the drug cannot penetrate the eggs, most experts recommend using Doxycycline. In chickens that are infected with the RSE virus, a metronidazole-based topical antibiotic treatment will prevent the virus from replicating. However, metronidazole cannot eradicate the pathogen, and treatment will need to continue until the chick hatched and could enter the egg. If no clinical signs are present, the vaccination of the entire flock is usually sufficient. However, if clinical signs are present, an additional round of metronidazole-based topical treatments is needed to provide complete protection.
