What is Marek's Disease? Should you be worried?

Marek's disease is an infectious disease of poultry caused by a herpesvirus that attacks nerves and causes paralysis or initiates widespread tumor formation. Should you be worried? It is something that can happen, but doesn't always happen. I have only seen very little of it in the last couple years of farming. Like most things this video is to try and help educate just so you can keep an eye out, not because you should be constantly worried. Learn who the poultry vet for your area is and what resources you have available just in case something bad happens.
