“…Antibodies to infectious bursal disease have recently been found in serum from unvaccinated indigenous chickens on farms around Gaborone (Mushi et al, 1999). Workers in other countries in Africa have also found antibodies to infectious bursal disease (Salman et al, 1983;Abd El Rahim et al, 1996;Okoye et al, 1999). The study by Okoye et al (1999) also provided evidence for the susceptibility of indigenous chickens to the virus.…”

A total of 215 indigenous chickens were found in 10 homesteads visited in Oodi, Kgatleng, Botswana from June to July 1999. The mean (SD) flock size was 21.5 (11.6) with a range of 7-47. The chickens were not housed but instead spent the night on top of trees to escape predation. Vaccinations against poultry diseases such as Newcastle disease were not carried out. Instead, traditional herbal remedies were used to treat sick chickens. Only a few adult birds were infested with scaly leg mites and fleas. Worm eggs were not detected in faecal samples examined but some coccidial oocysts were seen. Antibodies to avian infectious bronchitis, infectious bursa1 disease, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and egg drop syndrome were demonstrated in some of these chickens, suggesting previous infections or exposure.

“…Outbreaks of IBD have been reported in local chickens in Nigeria (Abdu & George, 1986;Okoye, 1987) and Sudan (Salman et al, 1983). Observations on the Sudanese outbreaks showed that local and adapted breeds were relatively more resistant to IBD than the pullets.…”

Local or village chickens are the major source of poultry products in less developed countries, but information is limited on their susceptibility or resistance to diseases. In this work, 6-week-old local Nigerian chickens, pullets and broilers were used. One day before infection the mean body weight of the broilers was more than twice that of the pullets and local chickens. The bursa: body weight (B:BW) indices of the pullets and local chickens were similar, but were significantly higher than those of broilers. Following inoculation intraocularly with pathogenic infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) drowsiness, drop in feed and water consumption, and diarrhoea were observed among the local chickens and pullets on day 2 post inoculation (p.i.) and in the broilers on day 3 p.i. Body weight losses from 1 to 11 days p.i. were significantly higher in the local chickens and pullets than in the broilers, total mortalities being 17.6, 50.0 and 61.51% in broilers, pullets and local chickens, respectively. Necropsy showed that dehydration and proventricular haemorrhages occurred most frequent in the local chickens. The response correlated with the B:BW indices on day 14 p.i.This showed that local Nigerian chickens are more susceptible to IBD than broilers and slightly more susceptible than pullets, explaining earlier reports that mortality due to IBD was higher in pullets or light breeds of chicken than in broilers or heavy breeds.

his study examined flock size and management, level of internal and external parasite burden and seroprevalence of antibodies to poultry pathogens in indigenous chickens in Bokaa village, Kgatleng district, Botswana. The mean flock size was 22.6Â±6.85 with a range of 11-34. The mean body weights of cocks and hens were 2.28Â±0.56 kg and 1.70 Â±0.38 kg, respectively. Housing and commercial poultry feed were not provided. Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum and Syngamus trachea were found in some birds. Although the chickens were not vaccinated against any poultry diseases, serum antibodies to Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease and infectious bronchitis were detected
