Poultry Judging Practice Test

Which of the following diseases of poultry can be vaccinated for?

1. Newcastle disease

2. Avian Infectious Bronchitis

3. Cholera

4. Fowlpox

The correct answer is: Cholera

Cholera in poultry is caused by the bacterium Pasteurella multocida, and vaccinations are available to provide protection against this disease, particularly in areas where outbreaks are common. These vaccines help reduce the incidence of the disease and manage its spread among flocks. Other diseases listed, such as Newcastle disease and Avian Infectious Bronchitis, also have effective vaccines available, and fowlpox is typically managed through vaccination as well. However, opting for cholera as the answer implies a focus on a specific bacterial disease that is known to have an effective vaccination strategy, distinguishing it in the context of poultry health management.
