WeCAHN Small Flock Poultry Health Update: Infectious Laryngotracheitis

Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is an important disease that commonly affects backyard poultry flocks leading to significant illness and potentially mortalities within flocks. Dr. Teryn Girard, a poultry veterinarian, speaks with us to provide some excellent information on ILT, including common clinical signs, how to diagnose this disease, and some ways to prevent this infection and other diseases from infecting poultry.

Dr. Girard works with Prairie Swine Health Services and spends a significant portion of her time providing veterinary support to the poultry group within Cargill Animal Nutrition in Western Canada.
