Pathological and hematological findings: Birds were
severely anemic, dehydrated, emaciated and had ruffled
feathers. Feed intake of these birds was decreased. The
comb and wattles were anemic in appearance. On
necropsy examination hemorrhages were found on skin
underlying the feathers of ventral side of wings,
subcutaneous tissue, pectoral muscle and heart (Fig. 1).
Hemorrhages on the proventriculus mucosa were also
observed in birds from different farms.
