Clinical Signs:
gasping, respiratory distress
Clinical description:
Baby chick showing signs of gasping and respiratory distress. Other signs in young chicks often include coughing, sneezing, rales and oculo-nasal discharge. In most strains, mortality is usually negligible unless complicated by secondary bacterial infections. However, chicks less than 2 weeks old that have a natural IB infection or a severe reaction to IB vaccine, may suffer permanent damage to the oviduct, resulting in poor to no egg production capacity later in life.
