Abstract

The present studies were carried out with an attempt to isolate A. paragallinarum from the cases of Infectious Coryza. Suspected poultry farms around the Palampur were involved in this study. The isolates were characterized biochemically and compared with the already confirmed strains of the organism procured from elsewhere. Out of 146 samples, 6 were confirmed presence of the organism biochemically and the suitable drugs were identified to control the disease at farm level. Ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin were the most effective drugs against the pathogen A. paragallinarum, whereas, amoxycillin was found to be moderately effective. Further, all isolates were confirmed by HP-2 PCR primers.
