Avian Influenza is jus a flu but this flu is quite deadly as it suffers your broiler thus making them depressed then one day you will found out all of your broilers in your farm are dead, with no symptoms, with no clue, just died suddenly thus making sudden-death syndrom. Unfortunate for you, you can’t even harvest your dead broilers cause their meat would be deadly and Avian Influenza could infect humans from your broilers meat thus if you ever try to harvest them you will straightly go into jail. So we recommend you to toughen up and burn all of your dead chicken and even get rid of the lived one as it might already infected too. So deadly right?.
This deadly flu is caused by a virus called H5N1. This virus attacked your broiler’s respiratory system. Making them sneeze and coughing frequently.

If you let this slip up, your chicken once again would feel stressed up as the blindness and labored breathing make them suffer. From the stress thus your broiler would face a certain death. This cancer was caused by an awful dirty cage and awful ventilation system.
If you have a damp farm for your broiler chicken then your farm would be a perfect place for fungus to grow. Thus attacking your business and wipe them all out for good. This fungus would commonly caused Aspergillosis or also called pneemonia.
Aspergillosis would make your broilers lost appetite but make them so desperately thirsty and sometimes they will begin gasping then having convulsion. After showing such symptoms your broilers would stressed out then will die in agony.
