[Aortic rupture in poultry: a review].

L van Veen

    Tijdschrift Voor Diergeneeskunde
    |May 8, 1999
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sudden death in poultry, especially turkeys, is often caused by aortic rupture, a dissecting aneurysm. Treatment with reserpine and copper shows promise in mitigating losses from this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Avian Medicine

    Context:

    • Aortic rupture causes sudden mortality in poultry, particularly fast-growing male turkeys.
    • The condition involves dissecting aneurysms and significant blood clots in the abdominal cavity.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the pathological findings associated with aortic rupture in poultry.
    • To identify precipitating factors and potential treatments for aortic rupture.

    Summary:

    • Post-mortem examinations reveal fragmented elastic fibers, smooth muscle cell degeneration, and intimal sclerotic plaques near the rupture site.
    • Identified risk factors include copper and zinc deficiencies, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, diet, lathyrism, pharmaceuticals, and parasites.

    Impact:

    • Understanding these factors aids in preventing and managing aortic rupture in commercial poultry flocks.
    • Field studies indicate reserpine and copper supplementation as effective treatments, reducing economic losses.
