Abstract

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) causes pneumonia, airsacculitis, and pleuritis in chickens and other avian species. Little is known about the seroprevalence of ORT in layer chickens in Gyeonggi province, South Korea. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of ORT in layer chickens in Gyeonggi province, South Korea from May to September 2019. A total of 460 chickens in 28 flocks were tested for antibodies to ORT by using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The seroprevalence of ORT antibodies in the flocks was 100% (28/28) and the overall seroprevalence in individual chickens was 98.91% (455/460). This survey indicated the high seroprevalence of ORT in layer chickens in Gyeonggi province, South Korea. Therefore, measures should be executed to control ORT in layer chickens in this province.
