FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\nWhat are the most common mycoplasma symptoms in poultry?<\/div>\nRespiratory signs such as coughing, sneezing, gasping, along with eye and nasal discharge, facial swelling, and conjunctivitis are common mycoplasma symptoms in poultry.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHow serious is mycoplasma gallisepticum in poultry and what damage can it cause?<\/div>\nMycoplasma gallisepticum in poultry is highly contagious, hence it can become a serious concern for poultry producers. It can cause serious chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) leading to significant economic losses.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhat is the difference between mycoplasma synoviae infection in poultry and mycoplasma gallisepticum?<\/div>\nThe main distinction lies in the type of disease they cause: Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is primarily associated with respiratory infections\u2014manifesting as chronic respiratory disease in chickens and infectious sinusitis in turkeys\u2014characterized by symptoms such as sinusitis, sneezing, and ocular discharge. On the other hand, Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is typically linked to synovitis (joint inflammation) and airsacculitis, though it may also contribute to respiratory problems and alterations in eggshell quality.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhat is the mortality rate and production impact of mycoplasma disease in poultry?<\/div>\nMycoplasma disease in poultry can lead to significant drop in egg production ranging from 6 to 43% with respiratory signs such as coughing and sneezing. In severe cases mycoplasma disease in poultry can also lead to mass mortality in poultry.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
