Poultry diseases can be transmitted through various routes:
- Direct Contact: Farmers or handlers can contract diseases through direct contact with infected birds. - Contaminated Feed and Water: Pathogens can contaminate feed and water sources, spreading disease among flocks. - Airborne Transmission: Diseases like Avian Influenza can spread through the air, especially in densely populated farming areas. - Fomites: Non-living objects like equipment and clothing can carry infectious agents from one location to another.
