Abstract

Bacterial disease of poultry is one of the major constraints to the expansion of poultry industry. The study was undertaken to investigate some common bacterial diseases in commercial poultry farm. A total of 100 sick and dead chickens (67 broilers, 26 layers and 7 sonali) were collected from different poultry farms which were subjected to postmortem examination for tentative diagnosis. After the post-mortem examination, out of 100 collected dead chickens, bacterial diseases were confirmed 58 %. Among them 52 % of the chickens were diagnosed tentatively to be the case of colibacillosis, 4 % salmonellosis, and 2 % of fowl cholera. In post-mortem examination, some pathological lesions like: omphalitis, fibrinopurulent fluid accumulation in peritoneal cavity, air sacculitis, pericarditis and perihepatitis, extreme congestion and septicemia in intestine for colibacillosis infection; unabsorbed yolk mass, bronze discoloration and friable liver, hemorrhages in spleen, misshaped ova for salmonellosis as well as swollen and hardening of comb, congestion of skin, multiple pin point pale color necrotic lesion on liver, pin point hemorrhage on fat muscle of heart were observed for fowl cholera infection. Hence, this study will definitely help to perceive the prevalence of common bacterial diseases like colibacillosis, salmonellosis and fowl cholera infection in commercial poultry farm.

Highlights

The major constraints of vilof indigenous chicken and duck under free range semi- lage poultry production are enlisted as various diseases, poor scavenging systems (Das et al, 2008)
The most integral husbandry and shortage of feed, all of which hamper the part of farming system is poultry sector that has created optimal performance of the poultry production in Bangladirect and indirect opportunity for employment facilities, desh (Haque et al, 1996)
The objective of the present research is to focus the prevalence rate of common bacterial diseases in poultry farm that might be confirmed on the basis of necropsy examination

Summary

Introduction

The. Poultry industries contributes a remarkable role in Bang- requirement for meat and egg products have been increasing ladesh economy. In Bangladesh, maximum people largely commercial strain of chicken and village poultry was 50:50 depend on agricultural and livestock farming and about in egg production while for meat production it was 60:40 in. The major constraints of vilof indigenous chicken and duck under free range semi- lage poultry production are enlisted as various diseases, poor scavenging systems (Das et al, 2008). Clinical diagnosis of common bacterial diseases of growth and reducing poverty level in both rural and urban poultry. The bacterial diseases of poultry encountered areas of Bangladesh (Selim & Nahid, 2008). Poultry farm- commonly in Bangladesh have been reviewed here by puting offers opportunities for part-time employment particu-
