Pullorum Disease

Pullorum Disease is a bacterial infectious disease of primarily young avian species characterized by white diarrhea, pinpoint necrosis of organs, and mortality. It usually occurs in an acute systemic form in chicks and poults, but in adults is more localized and chronic. Birds often remain carriers after being infected. Due to eradication programs, this disease has been practically eliminated from the U.S. poultry industry. · Next Page»
