DUCK MEDICINE AND VACCINES MARKET ANALYSIS

Ducks are relatively resistant to disease, but they have been known to carry diseases that are infectious to other types of poultry. However, some of the common diseases in ducks include duck virus hepatitis, duck plague, pasteurellosis, and aflatoxicosis. As there is no treatment for many of these diseases, such as duck plague, duck hepatitis, and others, vaccinating the ducks is essential to prevent such diseases. Also, providing proper housing, management, ventilation, and nutrition to ducks can make them less susceptible to diseases.

The global duck medicine and vaccines market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,777.0 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period (2021-2028).
