About Poultry on the NAVLE
Poultry questions (2.2%) are flock-medicine focused and cover both commercial broiler/layer operations and backyard flocks. The exam tests major poultry diseases — Newcastle disease (reportable), Infectious Bronchitis, Marek's disease, Infectious Bursal Disease, Avian Influenza (reportable), necrotic enteritis, coccidiosis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and Salmonella. Vaccination programs, biosecurity, post-mortem technique, and regulatory reporting requirements are heavily emphasized.
