Newcastle Disease is a highly contagious viral disease that affects both domestic and wild birds. It can cause significant mortality in chickens, leading to substantial economic losses. Symptoms include respiratory distress, greenish diarrhea, and nervous system disorders.

2. Avian Influenza

Avian Influenza, also known as bird flu, is another viral disease that can lead to high mortality rates in poultry. The virus can spread rapidly among birds and can also infect humans. Symptoms in chickens include sudden death, coughing, and sneezing.

3. Marek’s Disease
