Abstract
Hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) is
a very recent and mysterious disease
affecting chicken. This disease was first
reported in growing chicks in Pakistan
(Khawaraja etaI., 1988). It was mainly seen
in commercial broiler chicks aged 3-5 weeks
and was characterised by hydropericardium
filled with straw coloured fluid in the
pericardial sac. No clinical signs except
sudden death upto 60-70% (Ahamed et aI.,
1989) could be observed.
