    Unusual Coliranuloma in very Young Japanese Quail Chick
    (Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013) Roy, Parimal; Hemalatha, S.; Purushothaman, V.; TANUVAS
    A commercial Japanese Quail Farmer reported death from 8 to 30% in three different flocks of 3 days old age, 3 weeks old age and 4 weeks old age of total flock size 18800. Investigation was under taken to find out the cause of death. Post mortem examination followed by bacteriological, virological and histopathological examinations revealed spontaneous colibacillosis E coli serotypes O24, O6 and O128 were isolated in pure culture. Isolates were strong congo red binder and sensitive to enterofloxain, gentamicin and chloramphenicol. Pathological lesions also correlated well with the infection of E. coli. Involvement of potentially zoonotic, E. coli serotype O6 in causing coligranuloma and death in 3 days old Japanese quail establishes its virulence character in Papanese quails. Strict biosecurity measures were advised to prevent transmission of public health importance E. coli serotype O6 from infected Japanese quails to humans.

    Nitrate Poisoning in Crossbred White Cattle in Namakkal
    (Indian Vet. J., 2013-12) Madheswaran, R.; Subramaniam, M.; Natarajan, A.; Balasubramaniam, G.A.; TANUVAS
    Vaiyappamalai is situated in between mountains. Ground water level is constantly low due to inadequate rain throughout the year and it worsens during summer. Poultry manure and fertilizers are used for farming activities. Most of the water and feed samples submitted for estimation of nitrate level revealed greater than 500 ppm. Marginally toxic levels of nitrate in water, combined with marginally toxic levels of nitrate in feed, was the cause of nitrate poisoning. Affected animals were treated with intravenous injection of methylene blue. Only few animals responded to the treatment.
