“…In birds that eat seeds, the strong contractions of the organ triturate the food with the help of ingested grains, activity that can be compared to the masticatory function of the teeth in mammals (DYCE et al, 1996). The occurrence of stomach impaction is possible in the glandular and muscular stomach of ostriches, associated with high mortality, as described by SATO et al (1994).…”

Twenty adult partridges Rhynchotus rufescens were used for morphologic and histological study. The materials destined to the morphologic study were collected and the lengths of the glandular stomach and of the muscular stomach were measured. For the histological study, fragments of the glandular stomach (gastric proventriculus, Ventriculus glandularis) and of the muscular stomach (gastric ventriculus, Ventriculus muscularis) were stained routinely with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Masson’s trichrome stain. Glandular stomach is prolonged, with a fusiform format toward craniocaudalis and for the left. It presents a mean length of 3.20cm in the females and 3.65cm in the males. Gastric proventriculus is composed by several lobes and glands. The mucosa is formed by a simple cubic epithelium, which is much folded. Muscular stomach has the format of a biconvex lens, with 4.30cm and 4.35cm of mean length for the females and male, respectively. The mucosa is formed by folds lined by columnar cells and the mucus that forms the cuticula. There are crypts in the base of the folds. Closely, there is a lamina propria and a thick smooth muscle layer, which is placed according to the format of the organ. A dense portion of connective tissue constitutes the serosa, mixed by some smooth muscle cells.

“…Peritonitis (Figure 1 g) due to ingestion of sharps, leading to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal distension, was also observed (Figure 1h). Gastric impaction in ostriches occurs mainly by access to foreign materials which should not be within the reach of animals and / or as a result of behavioral problems which reflect errors in the flock management, including stressful conditions, animal translocation or ambient change, poor sources or low fiber nutrition, sudden changes in feeding schedule and/or composition, changes in bedding or introduction of it for adult animals, lack of space for handling, and high density of animals (Sato et al, 1994;Shwaluk and Finley, 1995;Gulbahar et al, 2000;Yusek et al, 2002). Besides, the hipocontractility of gastrointestinal tract smooth muscle may be an important contributing factor related to nutritional and primary management causes (Speer, 1996).…”

“…Proventricular-ventricular impaction along with ventriculitis was not reported in these birds. Impaction due to ingestion of foreign materials was previously reported by many authors and majority of the reports are in ostriches (Sato et al, 1994, Nagarajan et al, 2011and Zakeri and Kashefi, 2011). Very few reports were noticed in geese (Daoust et al, 1991) and lesser rhea chicks (Reissig and Robles, 2001).…”

A male black headed ibis bird belongs to S.V. Zoological Park, Tirupati was died with the symptoms of sudden dullness, anorexia and gradual weight loss and the dead bird was brought to the Department of Veterinary Pathology, CVSc, Tirupati for necropsy examination. On necropsy, severe enlargement of the proventriculus with the impacted undigested food material was noticed. In addition to this, a sharp fencing wire perforating from the gizzard (Ventriculus) causing ventriculitis was also noticed as a prominent gross lesion. Based on gross findings, the present case was diagnosed as stomach (Proventriculus and ventriculus) impaction and ventriculitis.
