Abstract
A study was carried out to determine the cause of sudden death of ducks at Mettukolathur farm, Kancheepuram district. To explore
the cause of mortality; history and clinical signs were recorded. Post-mortem examination was carried out and samples were collected
for laboratory diagnosis. The nitrate content of water was found to be 100mg/L. History along with clinical symptoms, tissue changes
and laboratory analysis suggested nitrate poisoning. There may be possible relationship with flooding and toxic levels of nitrate since
the mortality occurred immediate after floods in the area.
