Abstract

Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most devastating and contagious diseases of poultry caused by avian paramyxovirus-1 (APMV-1) which causes outbreaks in commercial poultry farms inspite of intensive vaccination throughout the world. Newcastle disease virus is a constantly evolving virus and cause outbreaks in commercial poultry farms throughout the world. Isolation of novel genotype-XIII-NDV from recent outbreaks in India shows emergence of new strains is limiting its diagnosis and control. India is the world’s largest broiler meat producer and recent outbreaks have resulted in huge negative economic impact on the poultry industry; however, the economic impact of ND on poultry industry remains unclear and demands calculation of economic losses due to ND among the commercial vaccinated broiler farms in India. In the present paper economic losses among ten broiler farms were calculated where ND outbreak was reported despite of routine vaccination strategy. A new economic model was developed to calculate economic losses occurred due to mortality, vaccination, production lost (reduced body weight and increased FCR), treatment and biosecurity measures of individual broiler farms. Total economic losses in all the broiler farms were 5773978 Indian rupees (INR). Loss from mortality and reduced body weight contributed 1045983 and 3635904 Indian rupees (INR) out of total economic loss. Highest 62.97% and lowest 0.08% out of total economic loss was documented due to reduced body weight and vaccination measure. In India, ND poses a great threat to the commercial poultry industry inspite of stringent vaccination against ND. The data generated from this study will be valuable for assessing the global economic impact of Newcastle disease on the commercial broiler industry.
