LA CATASTROPHE DANS UN ELEVAGE DE PIGEONS : LA MALADIE DE NEWCASTLE.

Newcastle disease is a very serious poultry disease. It is found worldwide and affects chickens, guinea fowl, pigeons, and several other poultry species. It has a high neuropathogenicity, and head tilt is the pathognomonic sign. It decimates poultry farms and makes village poultry farmers miserable during the cold dry season. Vaccination is very effective, and dedicated agents are well-equipped to ensure the protection of millions of local chickens in Mali.
