(h) Where a contagious poultry disease occurs, the results of laboratory tests must be communicated immediately to the authorised veterinarian.

(f) A programme of microbiological quality control must be used to assess the health status of the hatchery. (g) The farmer must notify the authorised veterinarian of any variation in production performance or any other sign suggesting the presence of a contagious poultry disease. As soon as contagious disease is suspected, the authorised veterinarian must send the samples needed for making or confirming the diagnosis to an approved laboratory and inform the competent veterinary authority, which shall decide on appropriate measures to be taken. (h) A flock history, register or data medium for the hatchery must be kept for at least two years showing, if possible by flock: the origin of the eggs and their arrival date, hatching yields, any abnormalities, any laboratory tests and the results thereof, details of any vaccination programmes, the number and the destination of incubated eggs which have not hatched, the destination of day-old chicks,
(i) Where a contagious poultry disease occurs, the results of laboratory tests must be communicated immediately to the authorised veterinarian.
(a) Salmonella Pullorum andSalmonella Gallinarum: fowls, turkeys, guinea fowls, quails, pheasants, partridges and ducks.(b) Salmonella arizonae : turkeys.
(a) Serological and/or bacteriological tests must be used to determine whether an infection is present Note that serological testing in avian species other than fowls may sometimes result in an unacceptable proportion of false-positive reactions. (b) Samples for testing must be taken, as appropriate, from blood, embryos that fail to hatch (namely embryos dead-in-shell), second grade chicks, meconium, post mortem tissues, especially liver, spleen, ovary/oviduct and ileo-caecal junction Note that environmental samples are generally not suitable for reliable detection of Salmonella pullorum andSalmonella gallinarum , but are suitable forSalmonella arizonae. (c) Direct enrichment in Selenite-cysteine broth for faecal/meconium and intestinal samples is to be used. Non-selective pre-enrichment followed by selective enrichment in soya based Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RVS) broth or Müller-Kauffmann Tetrathionate-novobiocin broth (MKTTn) may be used for samples (such as embryos dead-in-shell) where competing flora is expected to be minimal Note that direct plating of aseptically collected tissues on to a minimally selective agar, such as MacConkey agar, is also useful for diagnosis. Salmonella pullorum andSalmonella gallinarum do not readily grow in the modified semi-solid Rappaport Vassiliadis (MSRV) medium that is used for monitoring of zoonoticSalmonella spp. in the Union, but it is suitable forSalmonella arizonae. (d) When blood samples are taken from a flock for serological testing for Salmonella Pullorum andSalmonella Gallinarum orSalmonella arizonae , the prevalence of infection in the Member State concerned and its past incidence in the establishment must be allowed for in determining the number of samples to be taken. However, a statistically valid number of samples for serological and/or bacteriological testing to detect infection must always be taken.(e) Flocks must be inspected during each laying period at the best time for detecting the disease in question. (f) Samples for bacteriological testing must not be taken from poultry or eggs that have been treated with antimicrobial medicinal products during the 2 to 3 weeks prior to testing. (g) Detection techniques must be capable of differentiating serological responses to Salmonella Pullorum andSalmonella Gallinarum infection from serological responses due to the use ofSalmonella Enteritidis vaccine, where this vaccine is usedNote that there is currently no test that can differentiate between the response to Salmonella Pullorum andSalmonella Gallinarum infection and vaccination for this serotype.
(a) Mycoplasma gallisepticum : fowls and turkeys.(b) Mycoplasma meleagridis : turkeys.
(a) The presence of infection must be tested by validated serological and/or bacteriological and/or molecular tests. The presence of air sacculitis lesions in day-old chicks and turkey poults suggests that a Mycoplasma infection is present and must be investigated.(b) Samples for testing for the presence of Mycoplasma infection must be taken, as appropriate, from blood, day-old chicks and turkey poults, sperm, or swabs taken from the trachea, the choanae, cloaca or air sacs and in particular for the detection ofMycoplasma meleagridis samples must be taken from oviduct and penis of turkeys.(c) Tests for detecting Mycoplasma gallisepticum orMycoplasma meleagridis must be performed on a representative sample in order to allow continuous surveillance of the infection during rearing and laying, namely just before the start of laying and every 3 months thereafter.
(a) when the conditions laid down in Chapter II are no longer met; (b) until an investigation appropriate to the disease has been completed, if: an outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease is suspected at the establishment, the establishment has received poultry or hatching eggs from an establishment with a suspected or confirmed outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease, contact liable to transmit the infection has occurred between the establishment and the site of an outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease;
(c) until such time as new tests are performed, if the results of surveillance carried out in accordance with the conditions laid down in Chapters II and III for infection by Salmonella Pullorum,Salmonella Gallinarum,Salmonella arizonae ,Mycoplasma gallisepticum orMycoplasma meleagridis give cause to suspect an outbreak;(d) until completion of the appropriate measures required by the official veterinarian, if the establishment is found not to conform with the requirements of point 1(a), (b) and (c) of Chapter I.
(a) an outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease is confirmed on the establishment; (b) a second test of an appropriate type confirms an outbreak of infection by Salmonella Pullorum,Salmonella Gallinarum,Salmonella arizonae ,Mycoplasma gallisepticum or Mycoplasma meleagridis ;(c) after a second notice served by the official veterinarian on the person responsible for the establishment, action to bring the establishment into line with the requirements of point 1(a), (b) and (c) of Chapter I, has not been taken.
(a) approval has been withdrawn because of an outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease, it may be restored 21 days after cleansing and disinfection if sanitary slaughter has been carried out; (b) approval has been withdrawn because of an outbreak caused by: Salmonella Pullorum andSalmonella Gallinarum, orSalmonella arizonae , it may be restored after negative results have been recorded in two tests performed with an interval of at least 21 days on the establishment following sanitary slaughter of the infected flock and after disinfection for which the effectiveness has been verified by suitable tests on dried surfaces,Mycoplasma gallisepticum orMycoplasma meleagridis , it may be restored either after negative results have been recorded in two tests performed on the entire flock with an interval of at least 60 days or after negative results have been recorded in two tests performed with an interval of at least 21 days on the establishment after disinfection following sanitary slaughter of the entire infected flock.
(a) Salmonella vaccination programmes must not interfere with serological detection in the context of field investigation, or result in false-positive tests;(b) live Salmonella vaccines must not be used in the framework of national control programmes:(i) in breeding or productive poultry during their reproductive or laying stage unless the safety of their use has been demonstrated and they are authorised for such purpose in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council OJ L 311, 28.11.2001, p. 1 .(ii) where the manufacturer does not provide an appropriate method to distinguish bacteriologically wild-type strains of Salmonella from vaccine strains.
