Received: June 18, 2020; Published: July 18, 2020 Pakistan Poultry is facing multi challenges in the field of health and biosecurity. So, the study was conducted to find out the disease prevalence in poultry in district Rawalpindi. The current study was limited in the district. Diseases were diagnosis in poultry clinical signs in birds, overall health history, post-mortem examination, lab sample, and culture. The overall prevalence of Newcastle disease (ND) was found as the maximum (7.90%) in the broiler, followed by Fowl typhoid (6.63%), Mycoplasma (5.73%), Escherichia coli infection (5.57%), Coccidiosis (4.64%), Mycotoxicosis (4.61%), Infectious Bursal Disease (2.89%), Infectious coryza (2.55%), Hydro- pericardium syndrome (1.72%) and Infectious bronchitis (1.64%). It is documented that from April to June it looked to be relatively safer for the broilers as the low occurrence of infection was recorded. In the layers, occurrence of Newcastle disease was remain the maximum (7.97%), followed by Fowl typhoid (6.02%), Mycotoxicosis (5.57%), Coccidiosis (4.80%), IBD (3.22%), Mycoplasmosis (3.05%), Infectious coryza (2.57%), Fowl cholera (1.57%), IB (0.95%), E. coli infection (0.78%), and HPS (0.51%). It is documented that for layers birds, from January to March looked to be safer. The assumption, varied diseases are widespread in both layers and broilers. Thus, scheduled vaccination, brooding management, preventive measures, and biosecurity are highly recommended.
