Direct Answer Summary
Verifying the health and immunization status of broiler chicks at delivery is essential to protect against early-onset viral outbreaks. Day-old chicks should ideally receive subcutaneous or in-ovo vaccinations at the hatchery against Marek’s Disease, Newcastle Disease (ND), and Infectious Bronchitis (IB). Physical quality checks at the farm gate must confirm that chicks are alert, have completely healed and dry navels, show no hock lesions, and possess clean vents, which are the primary indicators of a healthy, infection-free hatch.ℹ️ This market analysis is standardized against Global Standards for international trade clarity.
