Detailed explanation-1: -About 1/3 of chickens hatched from eggs from typhoid-infected flocks die. A characteristic lesion for acute fowl typhoid in adult birds is the enlarged and bronze greenish tint of liver.
Detailed explanation-2: -Necrotic enteritis is an enteric disease of poultry characterized by patches of necrotic tissue on the intestinal epithelium. This disease can cause high mortality, primarily in juvenile broilers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thereafter, the disease was induced by feeding C. perfringens culture to chickens and called the “six-day disease, ‘’ as the bacteria were observed to infect the intestinal mucosa of birds (Johansson and Sarles, 1948). However, the term “necrotic enteritis” was coined and reported by Parish in 1961 in England.
Detailed explanation-4: -Necrotic enteritis must be differentiated from lesions produced by Eimeria brunetti and also from ulcerative enteritis. Uncomplicated coccidiosis rarely produces lesions as acute or severe as those seen with necrotic enteritis.
