The Avian Disease Manual, AAAP’s best-selling publication, is an essential, affordable reference for veterinary and poultry science students, educators, practitioners, and anyone seeking clear, reliable guidance on avian health. This new edition is reorganized into four major sections, Prevention, Investigation and Diagnosis, Diseases, and Practical Tools, presenting information in a more logical progression from disease prevention through diagnosis and disease recognition to practical field application. Diseases are listed alphabetically within each chapter (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, nutritional, and miscellaneous), making individual conditions easy to locate, while a detailed index and differential diagnosis tables, correlating diseases by age, system, and lesion, support rapid clinical decision-making. The manual is thoroughly updated to reflect emerging pathogens, the resurgence of familiar diseases, and reduced antibiotic use, including a new chapter on Antimicrobial Stewardship and Antimicrobial Resistance. Practical chapters on medication, vaccination, biosecurity, sick-flock investigation, necropsy, and humane euthanasia make complex information accessible and immediately useful. Built on decades of expertise since the first edition in 1980, this trusted manual gives newcomers a strong foundation in poultry medicine while providing experienced professionals with a fast, practical resource they will return to again and again.
