Botulism in poultry is caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which produces a neurotoxin leading to symptoms such as weakness, paralysis, and respiratory distress. The disease can be contracted through contaminated feed, water, or wounds, and has a significant impact on poultry production, with mortality rates ranging from 2.8% to 35.2%. Prevention strategies include maintaining hygiene, proper feed and water management, carcass disposal, and monitoring for signs of illness.
