Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of Transmissible Viral Proventriculitis (TVP) occurrence in broiler chickens in Poland. In march 2016 proventriculi samples were collected from broiler chickens showing poor uniformity and decreased body weight, accompanied by enlarged proventriculi. Histopathological examination of affected proventriculi revealed typical lesions associated with TVP (vacuolar degeneration and necrosis of glandular epithelium, replacement of glandular epithelium by hyperplastic ductal epithelium and moderate to severe lymphocytic infiltration). To our best knowledge, up to date there is no report indicating the presence of TVP in Poland nor in Central and Eastern Europe.
