Learn about common health conditions affecting backyard flocks. Explore diseases related to respiratory, musculoskeletal, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and dermatologic conditions, and gain insight into the factors that contribute to each. Because poultry often hide clinical signs and are classified as food animals, treatment options can be limited, and effective disease prevention is essential. Veterinarians must adhere to strict regulatory requirements, including the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) and Extralabel Drug Use (ELDU) provisions under the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994 (AMDUCA)—which both require an in-person, established veterinarian-client-patient-relationship. Learner will come away understanding the unique compliance responsibilities associated with poultry care and practical disease prevention strategies.
