Abstract
Comparison of blood and hearts of birds dying from acute death syndrome [ADS] and normal healthy birds from 7 broiler chicken flocks revealed no consistent differences. Marked changes in serum levels of K, P, Mg, Na and glucose were noted to occur after death in birds dying from ADS and in control birds. Cellular infiltrations found in the hearts of birds dying from ADS and in control birds were considered to be normal lymphoid foci and foci of ectopic hemopoiesis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
