This analysis involves the identification and characterization of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause diseases in poultry. These analyses can help us and you understand the types of micro-organisms that are present in your flocks and develop strategies to control and prevent the spread of diseases.

Some of the key microbiological analyses that are performed in poultry health include:

1. Bacterial identification: This involves identifying the type of bacteria present in poultry samples using techniques such as culture-based methods, biochemical  tests, and molecular techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
2. Viral detection: Viral detection involves the identification of viruses in poultry samples using serological assays or molecular techniques like PCR.
3. Fungal identification: Fungal identification involves the identification of fungal species in poultry samples using culture-based methods, microscopy, and molecular techniques like PCR.
4. Parasite identification: Parasite identification involves the identification of parasites in poultry samples using microscopy, flotation test and molecular techniques like PCR.
