Abstract
A study of the prevalence of Pasturella haemolytica from trachea, liver, heart blood and spleen of healthy and sick chickens was carried out. A total of 100 tracheae, 64 livers, 63 hearts and 64 spleens of healthy seven-week-old chickens were obtained from Universiti Pertanian Malaysia, commercial unit. Eighty four tracheae, 83 livers, 85 hearts and 86 spleens of sick chickens were obtained from Universiti Pertanian Malaysia, commercial unit, post mortem room of Fakulti Kedoktoran Veterinar and Sains Peternakan and a private poultry farm at Dengkil. Two Percent of P.haemolytica was isolated from tracheae, 4.68% from livers and 1.56% from spleens of healthy sevenweek-old chickens. P.haemolytica was isolated from 3.49% of the livers, 2.35% from heart blood and 3.49% from spleens of sick chickens of various age. Nine species of bacteria were isolated from organs of healthy seven-week-old chickens and 21 species were isolated from all organs of sick chickens. Staphylococcus spp. and streptococcus spp. were frequently isolated from all organs of healthy chickens, while E.coli was the predominant organism isolated from all organs and from all cases of sick chickens regardless of age. salmonella spp. was also isolated from liver, heart blood and spleen of sick chickens.
