“…These are commonly recovered from the intestinal and caecal contents of chickens (Kouwenhoven etal., 1978a;Meulemans et al, 1980;Van der Heide et al, 1981;Page et al, 1982;Pass et al, 1982;Hieronymus et al, 1983;McNulty et al, 1984;Meulemans et al, 1985;Decaesstecker et a/.,1986;McFerran et al, 1986;Nersessian et al, 1986;Yason and Schat, 1986;Kibenge and Dhillon, 1987;McNulty et al, 1987).

SUMMARYThe intestinal and caecal contents of chickens from 102 broiler flocks affected by enteric and associated problems were analysed. The second week of life was found to be the most important in the onset of clinical signs of malabsorption shown by the presence of uneven flocks, growth retardation and enteritis problems, but oneweek-old flocks frequently presented similar problems. Some cases of feather aberration were observed, mainly in flocks of two weeks of age. From the third week, enteric problems were less acute. Viral particles were found in 67% of the samples by examination by electron microscope and in 52% by cell culture isolation. By complementing the two methods the viral recovery was increased to 85% of the samples. Four virus types were identified: reovirus, entero-like virus, rotavirus and adenovirus. Entero-like virus was mainly found in the first two weeks of life, whilst reovirus and rotavirus were principally found from the second week on. Adenovirus was found infrequently but this may have been a reflection of the mean age of the affected flocks which was only 12 days.

Association of Reoviridae Particles in an Enteric Syndrome of Poults Observed in Turkey Flocks during 1988

et al. 1989

An enteric syndrome of turkey poults, characterized by enteritis, crop mycosis, intestinal changes (pale, thin-walled ballooning with watery contents), and rickets, occurred during 1988 in 74 turkey flocks from different farms belonging to 9 California turkey growers. The flocks ranged in size from 9,000 to 120,000 birds. Pools of intestine sections from 618 birds, representing 78 field cases, were examined. Histopathological examination of the intestines showed a mild to severe atrophy with a reduced depth of crypts, which was more prominent in the distal part of the small intestine. Viral isolation attempts with primary cell cultures of chicken embryo kidney cells were negative. Examination by electron microscopy of negatively stained intestinal specimens revealed the presence of Reoviridae particles of 58.8 to 80 nm in diameter. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results on the intestinal pools for mammalian and group A avian rotaviruses were negative. A statistically significant relationship was found for the presence of Reoviridae particles in the intestines of 10-21-day-old birds. Of the 7 most common pathological conditions analyzed, 2, rickets and intestinal changes (thin-walled ballooning intestine with watery contents), showed a statistically significant association with the presence of Reoviridae particles.
