Hypoxic ascites in broilers: a review of several studies done in Colombia

¹School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production, National University of Columbia, Bogotá.

|July 1, 1987

Abstract:

In Bogotá, Colombia, broilers developed ascites due to pulmonary hypertension of hypoxic origin at 2638 m above sea level. This disease has tremendous economic impact in various countries of the world and is characterized by pulmonary hypertension, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the right ventricle of the heart, increased hematocrit and hemoglobin values, and ascites. This entity appears to be influenced by management practices and by inability of broilers to adapt to high altitude.

Ascites

Ascites

DefinitionAscites is the buildup of fluid inside the peritoneal cavity. It occurs when fluid moves out of the vascular system faster than the peritoneal lymphatics can remove it. This fluid shift is most commonly seen in liver cirrhosis but can also appear in several other systemic disorders.EtiologyCirrhosis remains the leading cause of ascites. Other conditions that can contribute include:Heart failureConstrictive pericarditisAbdominal cancersNephrotic syndromeSevere protein–calorie...
