    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR-585401, 2005-09-01) MANJUNATHA S. S.; D.T.NAIK
    The present investigation was taken up to study the prevalence of pneumoenteric infections of poultry in and around Bidar. The study was designed to find out the probable disease conditions causing pneumoenteric lesions, based on gross and histopathological findings. During the present study, a total of 500 samples comprising of trachea, lungs and intestines were examined for the presence of either pneumonic or enteric lesions. A systematic screening of these samples revealed various pathological changes on gross and histopathological examinations. The results indicated 45.8 per cent pneumonic infections and 33.8 per cent enteric infections in the present study. The proportional disease specific prevalence of various pneumonic conditions of poultry in the present study revealed higher prevalence rate of pneumonia due to bacterial agents (46.29%), followed by miscellaneous agents (27.95%) and viral agents (25.76%). The proportional disease specific prevalence of various enteric infections of poultry in the present study indicated higher prevalence of parasitic enteritis (48.52%) when compared to bacterial (35.5%) and viral enteritis (15.98%).

    PATHOLOGY OF PNEUMOENTERIC INFECTIONS OF POULTRY IN AND AROUND BIDAR

    Poultry farming has emerged as an important sector of agriculture in India. This has been clearly demonstrated by numbers and facts that during the last three decades egg production has doubled and poultry meat production has tripled. This expansion in poultry production is in part due to easy industrialization e.g. short turnover, low establishment cost and efficient disease prophylaxis, when compared with production of other livestock. Among agro-based vocations, poultry farming occupies an important position due to its enormous potentiality to bring about rapid economic growth, particularly benefiting the weaker sections of the society. With the advert of this century, the backyard poultry farming has been transformed into a strong agro-based farming activity. The estimated annual poultry egg and meat production in India has steadily gone up to 44 billion eggs ( 2.2. million tonnes by weight ) from 185 million layers and 1.6 million tonnes of broiler meat by weight from 1.6 billion broilers in 2003 emerging the country as the fourth and fifth large producers of egg and poultry meat respectively in the world, contributing to nearly 4% and 2% of the global output.
