Abstract

Duck virus enteritis (DVE) or Duck plague (DP) is an acute, highly contagious and lethal disease of duck, geese, swans and other species of the order Anseriformes. In the present study, a total of nineteen (19) outbreaks of Duck Virus Enteritis were recorded, with a morbidity and cause specific mortality of 50.33% and 66.40% respectively. Age-wise the highest mortality was recorded in adults (76.70%) followed by growers (60.14%) and ducklings (51.18%). Among different breeds, the highest mortality was recorded in Indian Runner (80.39%) followed by White Pekin (65.44%), Pati ducks (62.97%) and Khaki Campbel (54.79%). Season-wise, the highest mortality was recorded in monsoon (89.88%) followed by pre-monsoon (67.65%), post-monsoon (44.39%) and winter (31.97%).
