Abstract
The objective of the present study is to explore the bacteria associated with the dead-
in-shell eggs of psittacines. A total of 132 dead-in-shell eggs of different psittacine breeds
(Macaws, Lories, Conures. Amazons, Eclectus, Cockatoos, Grey parrots and Jardine parrots)
were obtained from the incubation unit of Cavin estate exotic bird farm, Chennai, Tamil
Nadu and subjected to microbological analysis. The overall prevalence of bacteria isolated
from the dead-in-shell was 80.30% (l06/ 132). Among these, Gram-negative bacteria
were predominant (49.24%, 65/132) was observed followed by Gram-positive organisms
(28.78%, 38/132) and Gram-positive filamentous organisms (2.27%, 3/132) were also
isolated from dead in shell embryos.
