Abstract
Seventeen-day-old broiler parent birds showed
sudden death with a mortality rate of 10 per
cent in a private farm. Based on the gross,
histopathology and polymerase chain reaction
performed with hexon gene of fowl adenovirus
which revealed expected amplicon size of H1/H2
[1219 bp] and H3/H4 [1319 bp], it was diagnosed
that the death of the birds was due to concurrent
Marek’s disease and inclusion body hepatitis.
