This work is concerned with the infectious agents which may lead to death of duck embryos before hatching and lower the production of the duck hatcheries. Bacteriological examination of samples taken from ducks reared in Ismailia province revealed that out of 600 total isolates; pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most prevalent bacterial agent (10.5%) followed by Proteus spp. (7%), E coli (6.5%), Salmonella spp. (5.3%), Nebsiella (3.5%) and Staphylococci (3%). The fungal agents were; Aspergillus flavus (2.7%), Penicillium spp. (3.5%) and Asperigillus fumigatus (1%). | ||||
