Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this study chicken body parts (leg, neck, wing, breast) and samples of water for washing carcasses, obtained from a slaughterhouse in Elazığ, were investigated in terms of listeria species. 20 samples were examined from each body part and carcass the water. L. monocytogenes, L. innocua and L. welshimeri were determined in 2, 7 and 4 leg samples; in 1, 3 and 5 wing samples and in 2, 5 and 4 water samples respectively. Only L. innocua was observed in 3 breast samples. L. monocytogenes and L. innocua were found in 3 and 2 leg samples respectively. In conclusion, it …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this study, 365 chickens slaughtered at a local abattoir and 162 chickens admitted to Elazığ Veterinary Control and Research Institute were investigated for Salmonellosis. Salmonella strains were identified and serogrouped. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were also performed. Fifty seven (10.81%) Salmonella strains were isolated from 527 chickens. Salmonella strains were serogrouped by coagglutination test and slide agglutination test. Of 57 strains, 53 were in group D1, 4 were in group B. Of 53 strains in group D1, 39 were serotyped as S. enteritidis and 14 as S. gallinarum. Four strains in group B were serotyped as S. typhimurium. In phagetyping …

Pathological Findings In Caecal Coccidiosis Of Chickens, Ayhan Atasever, K. Semi̇h Gümüşsoy

Caecal coccidiosis was determined in 12 white Leghorn chickens aged 18 weeks. Macroscopically, slight thickness, con-gestion and petechie were observed in the caecum. The lumen of caecum was full of blood and, necrotic areas were seen on the mucosal surface due to the damagae of villi epithelisl cells. Microscopically, it was observed that erythrocyte, epithelial cells and forms of parasites were present in the lumen of caecum due to the damage of villi epithelial cells. Lymphocyte, plasma cell and heterophil cell infiltrations were found in the propria mucosa as well as gangrenous typhilitis containing focal necrosis.
