An investigation into the health and husbandry of 15 small poultry flocks was undertaken. Each flock was visited in July and a questionnaire on management practices and disease history was completed. The flocks were clinically examined and serological tests for Salmonella pullorum, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, M synoviae, M meleagridis, Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease, infectious bronchitis, eggdrop syndrome 76, adenoviruses and reoviruses were carried out. Oesophageal and cloacal swabs were cultured for mycoplasma and pullorum reactors were cultured. M gallisepticum, M synoviae, M meleagridis and M gallinarum infections were detected and serological reactions for all the viral diseases, except egg drop syndrome 76, were found. Evidence of Newcastle disease and pullorum disease was encountered. Lice were present in five flocks and mites in four flocks. Welfare standards varied.
对15个小型家禽群的健康状况和饲养管理进行了调查。7月对每个鸡群进行了走访，并完成了一份关于管理措施和疾病史的调查问卷。对这些鸡群进行了临床检查，并针对鸡白痢沙门氏菌、鸡毒支原体、滑液支原体、火鸡支原体、新城疫、传染性法氏囊病、传染性支气管炎、76型禽蛋下降综合征、腺病毒和呼肠孤病毒进行了血清学检测。采集食管和泄殖腔拭子进行支原体培养，对鸡白痢反应阳性的样本进行培养。检测到鸡毒支原体、滑液支原体、火鸡支原体和鸡支原体感染，并且发现了除76型禽蛋下降综合征外所有病毒性疾病的血清学反应。发现了新城疫和鸡白痢的证据。五个鸡群有虱子，四个鸡群有螨虫。福利标准各不相同。
