ABSTRACT
A clinical and pathological investigation on the occurrence of diseases in birds was conducted in Kushtia, Faridpur, Magura, Rajbari and Dhaka Districts in Bangladesh during the period from March 2013 to November 2013. A total of 1000 sample (Sonali-120, Broiler-520, Layer-180, Duck-30, Pigeon-50, Quail-20, Goose-20, Pet Birds and Wild Birds-60) of either dead or sick birds were examined for clinical diagnosis of diseases. Diagnosis of different diseases was made on the basis of the clinical history, age of birds, clinical signs, gross pathological lesions and post mortem lesions. The birds were found with infectious bursal disease (IBD) (16.9%), Newcastle disease (ND) (14.1%), pox (1.4%), avian influenza (AI) (0.3%), duck plague (2.7%), duck viral hepatitis (1.2%), colibacillosis (14.1%), salmonellosis (14.6%), necrotic enteritis (1.5%), CRD/mycoplasmosis (7.6%), trichomoniasis (1.8%), psittacosis (1.3%), coccidiosis (9.9%), (IBD+coccidia) (3.6%), (IBD+ND+coccidia) (0.6%), (IBD+ND) (1.5%), internal parasitism (0.3%), nutritional deficiency disorders (3.8%) and miscellaneous (2.8%) cases. The treatment option and their response against the diseases were found to be successful in many cases. However, further studies are need to diagnose the subclinical and unidentified disease of birds for better understanding the prevalence of diseases of bird and their control strategies.
