Duck farming plays a vital role in the poultry industry, which is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world. Duck diseases are a major cause of concern because they can affect finances of small and landless farmers. Ducks are important to rural livelihoods because they provide a steady supply of meat and eggs. One of the most important measures to prevent outbreaks is to maintain the health of the ducks. Viruses have been reported to have more devastating consequences for duck productivity than other diseases that affect ducks. The most prevalent disease in ducks is Escherichia coli due to poor farm hygiene. Ducks are highly vulnerable to mycotoxins, notably aflatoxin, a toxic and carcinogenic metabolite of Aspergillus flavus that primarily affects the liver. This is a persistent issue that isn't always recognized. A toxin binder, which is a substance added to poultry feed in minute quantities to neutralize or immobilize harmful chemicals, mycotoxins or endotoxins should be included in duck diets on a regular basis. Proper vaccination and treatment can help prevent diseases in ducks.
Market Dynamics
The increasing research and development activities by scientists to develop vaccines for the diseases of ducks are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in September 2020, scientists at the Department of Veterinary Microbiology, Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU), Mannuthy, a university aiming to promote sustainable and profitable animal production systems, developed a vaccine for Riemerellosis, a bacterial disease that causes significant mortality in ducks. In ducks, Riemerellosis causes 5-75 percent mortality and more than 50 percent mortality in ducklings under the age of five weeks.
