Pendulous Crop Of Turkeys, M E. Bacon Jan 1968

Pendulous Crop Of Turkeys, M E. Bacon

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE condition known as pendulous crop occurs occasionally in a mild form in fowls, but the most commonly reported cases concern the classical symptoms that occur from time to time in turkeys.

The condition is also referred to as baggy crop, dropped crop, hanging crop and sour crop, and causes mortality, poor development and emaciation within turkey flocks in some areas.
