LT crops up in Schuylkill
BY SHEILA MILLER
HARRISBURG Another
outbreak of the contagious disease
laryngotracheitis, LT. has been
identified in a Schuylkill County
layer operation, reports chief
veterinarian Max A. Vanßuskirk,
head of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture’s
Bureau of Animal Industry.
This LT outbreak joins three
other reports of the disease in
flocks in Quarryville, Lancaster
County and York Springs, Adams
County! Lancaster Farming, Dec.
19,1981, Al).
The two flocks that were affected
in Adams County were brought
. under control, notes Vanßuskirk.
“Since LT usually hits when birds
in a broiler operation are
marketable, the disease is con
trolled by moving the birds out.
The houses are then disinfected
and new birds can be moved in
within a few weeks,” he said. This
was the procedure followed in the
Adams broilers that had the
'disease. '
“The Adams County layer
operation is vaccinating for LT,
therefore the consequences of the
disease are reduced,” reports the
chief veterinarian. “The impact of
LT in non-protected, young birds is
immediate they actually suf
focate from the disease.
“The birds create an unusual
amount of mucous in the upper
trachea. Their tracheas then
become ulcerated and may bleed,
with the birds shaking their heads
and sneezing out bloody mucous as

Howevei in older birds, it shows
itself through reduced produc
tion.”
Vanßuskirk also said the I Lan
caster outbreak has been dealt
with by the operation. He pointed
out that in this case the affected
pullets were “moved to the layer
operation since it was decided
losses in production would be
minimal."
Concerning the most recent
outbreak in Schuylkill County,
Vanßuskirk reveals ~ that there
were “no great losses” in flock
numbers. The disease seemed to
be confined to mostly those birds
that were finishing their first
laying.
“These birds probably will be
culled with the remainder of the
flock being vaccinated. The
situation is under control,” he
states.
Reassuringly, Vanßuskirk
comments, “We don’t have a
disease that’s-- desimating our
flocks like we did in 1978.” At that
time, Lancaster County alone had
750,000 birds placed under
quarantine.
Other symptoms of LT in a flock
include watery eyes, coughing,
wheezing, and twisting necks.
The disease, which results from a
viral infection, can result in a 5-70
percent loss in flock numbers
depending on its severity and bird
conditions.
Vanßuskirk stresses that while
LT is highly contagious in broiler
laying chickens . and

“somewhat” contagious in
pheasants, it does not affect other
poultry, such as waterfowl or
turkeys. The disease does not
affect egg quality or edibility.
Since the severe. outbreak in
1978, producers have been en
couraged to vacciriate for LT using
an eyedrop-vaccination when the
birds are 7-8 weeks old, followed by
a booster vaccine which can be
administered through a spray or in
the water when the birds are
between 16-18 weeks old.
LT is easily spread by rodents,
wild birds and people. To safe
guard an operation from possible
exposure, producers should follow
these recommendations;
—Do not visit other poultry
farms;
—lnsist that salesmen, feed
deliverymen, egg customers, and
pickup people stay out of
house;
—Use all-in, all-out operations
where possible;
” —Lock all poultry houses;
—Provide obvious, outside
receptacles for feed slips, invoices
and other messages;
—Know your pullet source and
its vaccination program;
—Consider starting a vac
cination program for LT;
—Submit any suspicious birds to
a diagnostic laboratory;
—Control rodents and stray dogs
or cats; and
—Contact the flock supervisor or
Extension agent in the county if
you suspect LT in your flock.
