Publisher: 1983Dissertation note: The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of various floor spaces on the performance of broilers kept in cages. One hundred and twenty day old (Indian River of Hybred Pakistan Ltd) chicks were reared for the experimental units of 36 birds each and were kept on 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq. foot floor space per bird. They were fed on a commercial ration. The other conditions like temperature, humidity, light and ventilation were similar for all the groups.
The broilers at the end of 8th week, gained an average live weight of 2.023,2.054 and 2.063 kg with a feed conversion ratio of 2.45, 2.43 and 2.41 at densities of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq. foot per bird respectively. No significant difference was observed on the three different floor spaces of 0.50,0.75 and 1.0 square foot per bird on cages for feed efficiency. The mean dressing percentage recorded were 64.3, 65.9 and 66.9 at 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq.foot of floor space respectively at the end of experiment. The differences in dressing percentage were also statistically non significant.
It is worth mentioning that no mortality was observed during whole of the experimental period.
Suggestions
At the end of experiment it was found that broilers can be reared in cages at a density of 0.5 sq. foot efficiently and economically up to the age of 8 weeks without any detrimental effect on the growth rate and feed conversion ratio. It is therefore recommended that the broilers should be kept at 0.5 sq. foot per bird in cages.

Publisher: 1988Dissertation note: The irmmunomodulatory effects of aflatoxin on the development or acquired immunity n Layers against fo-wi cholera vaccine were studled A group of 72day old Hybred layer chicks was raised on alfatoxin free feed for 6-weeks, when the experiment was started. On 42nd day of age, the birds were divided into six groups, T1, T2, T3, T4 K1, and K2
With birds in each group. A dose of 2.1 ug/g of feed was added in the ration of all the groups i.e. T1, T2, T3, except T4, which was injected i/c with single LD50) dose of aflatoxin, while K1 and K 2 were kept as vaccine no-toxin and non-toxin - non-vaccine control respectively. Group T1 was fed, toxin continuously for 42 days i.e. 42 nd of age to 84th day of age while T2 and T3 were fed toxin for 21 days, before and after vaccination i.e. 42nd to 63rd dayand 63rd to 84th day respectively. All the groups except K2 were vaccinated on 63rd day.
The antibody titres were measured, using two serological techniques i.e. indirect haemagglutination test and enzyme linked immunosorbant assay.
The results have shown that in group T1 the antibody titires of the birds could not develop to a sufficient level as compared with the vaccine control (K1) group. While in group T2 , the antibody titres rose to a sufficient level in about 14 days post-vaccination (which persisted almost on the same level till 84th day) and were quite comparable with group K but significantly higher than group T. Birds in group T3, showed a temporary increase in antibody titres which sharply decline to a very low level in about 2 weeks post-vaccination and registered a fall after the challenge. In group T4, the birds did not show any immunosuppressive reaction. The titres obtained on 70th, 77th and 84th day of age were comparable with group K1, while significantly higher from the groups T1, T3, and K2.
On the 84th day of age, all the groups were challenged with virulent strain of P.multocida Robert type-IT, which killed 11 out of twelve birds in group K2, one out of 12 in group T and 3 out of 12 in group T4, showing typical lesions of fowl cholera, while the rest 'of the birds of all groups survived one week post challenge, when the experiment was termina- ted by slaughtering the survivors. Their titres were measured and a significant decrease in titres of all the groups was recorded.
The results showed that, when aflatoxin was given continuously before and after vaccination and even if only after vaccination for a certain period of time, could greatly depress the antibody formation, but did not reduce the protective effect of vaccine on birds who despite very low titres of antibodies survived the challenge with virulent P. multocida.

Publisher: 1987Dissertation note: Health of human population alongwith animals is always at risk when Salmonella shedding carriers are present. The modern trend of Farm industry makes it more important to look out for the carriers and treat them to save the other animals and man from Salmonellosis.
The present work Was under-taken to determine the Salmonella carrier state in healthy buffaloes, in an attempt to understand the epidemiological role played by these animals in the transmission of Salmonella infection to other animals and man.
The faecal samples. were collected from 1000 animals. A series of enrichment, selective and differential media, biochemical& 6ro1ogy teste were used for isolation,iden- tification and serotyping of Sa.iionella from the faecal specimens.
It was observed that 18 animals out of 1000(1.8%)were carrier of Salmonella.
Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from 12 cases while Slamonella butantan was isolated from 6 cases. Occurrence of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella butantan are important from Veterinary Public Health point of view.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Study was conducted to find out the incidence of various species of Eieria responsible for coccidiosis in lambs of 4-6 month of age. For this purpose, 100 positive samples were collected and examined. The species of Eimeria found were Eimeria ovina, Eimeria intricata, Elmeria parva, Eimeria faurei and Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae. ll samples showed mixed infection with 2 to 3 species of Eimeria.
The oocyst count per gram of faeces in positive cases ranged from 6,000 to 50,000. The disease incidence was higher in young animals and it decreased with age. It was observed that Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae was the most prevalent (307.) amongst the faecal samples examined.
For haematological purposes, 60 blood samples of lambs 4-6 months of age were used. The lambs were divided into three groups A, B and C having 20 animals each respectively. The result indicated that total erythrocyte count for group A, B and C was 6.4 ± 0.3, 10.7 ± 0.2 and 11.8 ± 0.2 millions per micro litre of blood respectively. A significant decrease in total erythrocyte count was observed. A negative correlation existed between the average oocyst count and number of erythrocytes per micro litre of blood.
The average leukocyte count of group A was found to be 7.00 ± 0.1 x 103 thousand per micro litre of blood while in group B and C, the average leukocyte count was 7.8 ± 0.2 and 8.4 ± 0.2x103 respectively. The result indicated that a 13.25%. decrease in animal showing clinical sign of coccidiosis and 7.237. decrease in the animal showing sub-clinical (group B) form of disease.
The neutrophil count was observed 40.05 ± 0.25, 36.65 ± 0.25 and 32.6 ± 0.28 for group A, B and C respectively. The average lymphocyte count of group A, B and C was 56.15 ± 0.23, 55.85 ±0.28 and 62.0 ± 0.29 respectively. It is clear that the coccidiosis caused 7.62% decrease in lymphocytes in infected lambs. The result indicated a significant decrease in lymphocyte count due to coccidiosis. The result also showed that in clinical cases of coccidiosis the monocyte count increased by 10% but non-significant in blood of infected lambs was observed.
It was evident from the result that a decrease of 64.29% in the eosinophil count was seen in group A and 7.14% in group C because the coccidiosis caused significant change in the eosinophil count. The average basophil count for group A, and C was 0.5 ± 0.17, 0.4 ± 0.17% and 0.15 ± 0.137. respectively was observed in infected lambs.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: Sheep occupy an important place in economy of Pakistan as a source of food of high bioligical value and raw products for leather and woolen industries, particularly carpets. Parasitism is a great cause of economic loss to the sheep. The study was conducted to compare the fleece weight and live weight gain in treated versus untreated lambs suffering from nematodes using 90 Thalli sheep lambs in 3 groups keeping one group as infected control and other groups treated with Banminth II and Nilverm respectively. [he efficacy of both the drugs was evaluated on the basis of reduction of eggs per gram of faeces after medication. The egg count was made on Zero, 4th, 24th, 28th, 44th and 48th day. Both the drugs revealed a progressive decrease in the faecal egg counts. The efficacy of Banminth on 0, 4th, 24th, 29th, 44th and 48th was 20%, 97.33%., 99.73%., 99.93%. and 100%. Nilverm was 25%., 98.43%., 99.81%, 99.97% and 100%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the drugs. The increase in live weight gain in treated groups as compared to control was 30.72% and 42.48% in Banminth II and Nilverm respectively. Statistical analysis of the data confirmed that weight gain in Banminth II and Nilverm was significant than that of control however the weight gain was non significant between both the treated groups.
Fleece weight gain was 20% and 20.83% more in Banminth II and Nilverm treated groups as compared respectively. The quality of wool did not showed any significant difference between the three three groups except a significant increase in wool staple length s compared to control group.

Publisher: 1991Dissertation note: 75 buffaloes suffering from parturient haemoglobinuria and 25 healthy buffaloes were recorded for study. The samples and data were collected from 8 districts of Punjab. (Sargodha, IChushab, Gujranwala, Shekhupura, Okara, Sahiwal, Kasur and Bahawalnagar). Buffaloes in prime age and good health were mostly affected near parturition or after parturition. The highest percentage of cases was noted in 3rd lactation (36%), January (46.44%) and in post-parurition conclisition (88%). The Analysis of urine samples of affected buffaloes revealed the presence of haemoglobin, and light brown to coffee colour.
The clinical findings were haemoglobinuria, haemoglobinaemia, anoxic anaemia, voiding red coloured urine, weakness, constipation, staggering gait and slight rise of temperature that in later stages becomes subnormal.
The green fooder offered were Turnips, I3arseem and Sarsoon, during the winter season were low in phosphorus contents and considered to be predlisposing factor of disease.
The inorganic phosphorus and copper levels showed a decrease of 44.01% and 43.67% respectively where as serum calcium level increased by 1.89%, in the clinically affected animals.
In Pakistan an increase in incidence of disease has been noticed every year, where as only one Biochemical profile i.e. Serum Inorganic phosphorus level has been identified for investigation its etiology. The number of other factors like, serum, iron, dextrose, behaviour of R.B. C's. during disease and before seasonal fodders, and soil mineral contents are to be analysed for its detail etiological investigations. Our reserach institutions as well as educational departments are requested to reproduce the disease in healthy pregnant buffaloes for remedial measures, as well as its proper control.

Publisher: 1985Dissertation note: A study was conducted to find out the haematological changes, serum bilirubin level, relative efficacy of the three drugs, i.e., Coriban (Wellcome), Bilevon-M (Bayer) and Acedist (Ciba) and incidence of fascioliasis in naturally infected sheep. The study was made from the first week of January to the last week of March, 1985.
Haematological changes were observed after examining the Total Erythrocyte Count, Total Leucocyte Count, Differential Leucocyte Count, Packed Cell Volume and haemoglobin estimation of 80 naturally infected and 20 healthy sheep in Lahore. It was concluded that there was a drop in erythrocyte count, packed cell volume and haemoglobin concentration in the infected sheep and a normocytic normochromic type of anemia was detected. Besides this, it was also noticed and recorded that there was a rise in the total serum bilirubin level of the same 80 infected sheep which were naturally infected with fascioliasis were divided into four groups A, B, C and D of 20 animals each for the study of the efficacy of three antifascioliatic drugs (Coriban, Bilevon-M and Acedist) at manufacturer's recommended dose rates afterwards. Each group was given a separate drug on the Zero day and the fourth group (D Group) was left untreated as a Control At the end of experiment on the 28th day, the efficacies recorded were 98.86%, 97.67% and 97.70% for Coriban, Bilevon-M and Acedist respectively. Statistically there was no significant difference between the three drugs but a significant difference between the replications was noted by applying analysis of variance. An increase in the daily average weight gain of 48.21, 35.71 and 39.28 grams were recorded in A, B and C groups respectively and by applying paired 't' test it was proved that there was a significant difference between the weight gains of the animals treated with these drugs.
100 livers along with gall bladders were randomly selected from different abbatoirs of Lahore during the months of January, February and March to study the incidence of fascioliasis in sheep. An incidence of 8% was recorded for Fasciola hepatica and 4% for Fasciola gigantica, with an overall percentage of 12. for fascioliasis in sheep.

Publisher: 1985Dissertation note: Amongst the various poultry diseases coccidiosis is of paramount importance. Many drugs are commonly used against coccidiosis for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes which are found to be toxic. This study was conducted to see the adverse effect of coccidiostatic sulfa drugs Polycox, Darvisul and. Esb3 on the blood components, liver and kidneys of the chicks. These drugs were given to 70 broiler chicks at 4 weeks of age at therapeutic dose and higher level for 3-2-3 days. Their blood was collected on the 9th day post-medication to see the adverse effects on hematological values.
The coccidiostatic sulfa drugs medication produced severe anemia characterized by decrease of erythrocytic count, leukocytic count, hemoglobin contents and hematocrit values. Heterophils, lymphocytes and monocytes decreased significantly. The coccidiostatic sulfa drugs also effected the maturation of the cells in the bone marrow and produced a significant decrease of immature stages of erythrocytic,granulocytic and thrombocytic series. Erytliroblasts, polychromatic erythrocytes, thromboblast, immature and mature thrombocytes and granuloblasts decreased significantly by coccidiostatic su-fa drugs. The bone marrow smears were chiefly composed of erythrocytes and lymphocytes. The bone marrow was pale and fatty in appearance. This study has shown that changes in the blood picture are airectly related to the maturation of the cells in the bone marrow.
On gross examination liver and kidneys showed haemorrhages and necrosis, while microscopic examination revealed degenerative changes, necrosis, haemorrhages and infiltration of mononuclear cells which were prominent. It was evident that increase in the dose level of coccidiostatic sulfa drugs increased the severity of adverse effects. Esb3 produced less toxic effect than Polycox and Darvisul (containing Suiphaquinoxaline and Diaveridine).

Publisher: 1985Dissertation note: One hundred faecal samples, 100 blood samples and livers including bile ducts were collected from sheep suffering from Fascio1iasis slaughtered at Lahore and Sheikhupura abbatoirs.
Faecal examinations were carried out with fresh smear and centrifugal techniques and only 35 animals were found passing Fasciola ova. Serum was prepared from the blood samples collected from infested sheep for performance of indirect hacinagglutination test and double imniuno-diffusion test. Crude antigen was prepared from the fresh liver flukes specimens collected from infected livers which contained 4.5 mg protein/mi. Hyper immuneerim was prepared in rabbits by inoculating antigen. Double immuno-diffusion test was performed on glass slides coated with 1% agar Gel and. incubated at 37 C for 48 hours. The positive reactions showed diffuse lines. 45 sheep were found positive with Double immuno-diffusion test.. For performing the indirect haemagglutination test fresh red blood cell of the healthy sheep were stabilized with gluteraldehyde and sensitized with Tannic acid. Crude antigen was attached to these cells at pH 6.4 which were used in Indirect haemagglutination test. Serum samples were tested with Fasciola antigen in "V" plates of microtiter sptem. The end points of the plates were read after 16 hours a room temperature. Sora were prediluted 50 times but agglutination was seen even at 1/100 dilution. In positive reactions cells were like mat of cells in the bottom of the wells In negative reactions, cells settle down and looked like button in the center. 59 animal were found positive with indirect haemagglutination test. While comparing the sheep serum samples results with hyper immune serum collected rom rabbits it was found that all the positive sheep serum samples coincide with the results of hyper immune serum.
From the conclusion of the results it was found that indirect haemagglutination test was more sensitive (59%) than double immuno diffusion test(45%)as compared with the coprological examination 35%

Publisher: 1992Dissertation note: Study was conducted to find out the incidence of various species of Eimeria responsible for coccidiosis in kids of 4-6 month of age. For this purpose, 100 positive samples were collected and examined. The species of Eimeria found were Eimeria arloingi, Einaeria intricata, Eimeria parva, Eiineria faurei and Eimeria ninakohlvakimovae. All samples showed mixed infection with 2 to 3 species of Eimeria.
The oocyst count per gram of faeces in positive cases ranged from 5,000 to 50,000. The disease incidence was higher in young animals and it decreased with age. It was observed that Eiineria arloini was the most prevalent (81.25%) amongst the faecal samples examined.
For haeinatological purposes, 60 blood samples of kids 4-6 months of age were used. The kids were divided into three groups A, B and C having 20 animals each. The result indicated that total erythrocyte count for group A, B and C was 6.88 t 0.303, 9.95 0.225 and 10.54 j 0.120 millions per micro litre of blood respectively. A significant decrease in total erythrocyte count was observed. A negative correlation existed between the average oocyst count and number of erythrocytes per micro litre of blood.
The average leukocyte count of group A was found to be 10.40 £ 0.260 thousand per micro litre of blood while in group B and C, the average leukocyte count was 6.97 ±. 0.318 and 6.62 ± 0.325 x respectively. The result indicated that a 36.34% increase in total leukocyte count of kids showing clinical sign of coocidiosis and 5.02% increase in the animal suffering from sub-clinical form of disease.
The average haenioglobin conoentration of Group A, B and C was 7.91 ± 0.380, 10.83 ± 0.278 and 11.84 ± 0.286 gm/100 ml of blood. It was observed from the results that there was highest haemoglobin oncentration in Group C, a decrease of 8.53% in haemoglobin concenration of Group-B and 33.19% in Group A was recorded.
The neutrophil count was observed 53.22 ± 1.56, 48.50 ±. 0.99 and 37.38 ±. 0.961 for group A, B and C respectively. The average lymphocyte count of group A, B and C was 56.15 ±. 0.23, 55.85 ±. 0.28 and 62.0 ± 0.29 respectively. It is clear that the coccidiosis caused 7.62% decrease in lymphocytes in infected kids. The result indicated a significant decrease in lymphocyte count due to coccidiosis. The result showed that the coccidiosis produced no significant change in the rnonocyte component of blood of infected kids.
It is evident from the result that a decrease of 12.01% in the eosinophil count was seen in group A while an increase of 58.83 occurred in Group B because coccidiosis caused significant change in the eosinophil count. The average basophil count for group A, B and C was 0.21 0.287, 1.0 ±. 0.22 % and 0.88 ±. 0.210% respectively.
The total serum proteins observed in Group A, B and C was 4.17 0.058, 5.43 ±. 0.051 and 6.18 ± 0.057 gm/100 ml of blood. It is evident from these results that a decrease of 32.52% in T.S.P. of group P.A. and a decrease of 12.13% in the T.S.P. of group B occured due to coccidiosis. The infection of coccidiosis had an adverse effect on the total serum protein in kids.

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of anticoccidial drug coxeva (a mixture of 80% sulphadimidine and 8% diaveridine) and its effects on body weight, growth rate and feed convertion ratio were studied. For this purpose 120 day old broiler chicks were reared upto the age of 4 weeks. At the end of 4 weeks the birds were randomly divided into four groups A, B, C, and D, each group containing 30 chicks. The birds of each group were weighed. The group B, C and D were infected with 50,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. While the group A was left uninfected and kept as control on the 6th day after the appearance of clinical symptoms of caccal coccidiosis, the group C and D were medicated with coxeva (the group C for five continuous days and group D for three days on 2 days off three days on), the group B was left as infected control. The daily oocysts count per gram of faeces were taken upto the end of experiment which was zero in group C on 10th day and in group D on 13th day the oocysts were at their peak (5,20,000) on 15th day of inoculation. The body weight was recorded at the end of each week throughout the experiment which showed significant difference in group B and group A, C and D . The feed consumed by each group was recorded on daily basis and growth rate was recorded at the end of each week. The analysis of variance revealed significant difference in feed consumption and growth rate in group B and other groups. The feed conversion ratio was recorded for each group at the end of each week which showed non significant difference among group A, B, C and D. The drug was also evaluated for its modes of administration (continuousand intermittent) and found no significant difference in both modesof administration. The mortaility was recorded which was five birds (16%) in group B. The drug proved hundred percent effective against caecal cocidiosis in broiler chicks.

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: While standardizing various components of haemagglutination (HA) test optimum results were obtained using phosphate buffer saline (PBS) as a diluent, 0.5 per cent red blood cells suspended in PBS as indicator, and by incubating the microtitration plates at 4C. While best Haemagglutination-Inhibition (HI) titers were obtained by using 4 HA Units of antigen and 60 minutes incubation period (time given for antigen-serum reaction). The HI test did not detect maternal antibodies in the serum of birds after 4 week of age. Initial vaccination of chicks at 7 days of age followed by a booster dose at 21 days of age, elicited a good immune response and protected the broilers against virulent NDV challenge at 49 days of age. Administration of a single dose of NDV vaccine at 7 day of age or three NDV vaccine doses, one for priming at 7 days of age, second for first boosting at 21 days of age and third as a second booster dose at 35 days of age were not recommended, as in first case the immunity was short lived and in second case birds were exposed to unnecessary stress.

Publisher: 1993Dissertation note: A study was under taken to find out the incidence of hydatidosis and to evaluate the efficacy of indirect haemagglutination (IHA) test for the confirmation of natural hydatidosis in sheep slaughtered at Lahore municipal abattoir.
Blood samples from 200 sheep (50 each from hydatidosis affected and free sheep on the basis of postmortem findings and 100 blood samples Elected randomly without considering postmortem finding). The serum from each sample was separated, properly labelled and stored at -20°C.
For the preparation of antigen, crude cyst fluid was aspirated aseptically from hydatid cysts. Blood from healthy sheep was collected in 3.8% sodium citrate solution and red blood cells were separated by centrifugation. A 2.5% red cell suspension was prepared in Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). The sheep erythrocytes were sensitized by Hydatid fluid antigen. Optimal dilution of antigen 1:16 was used in Phosphate Buffered Saline (p11 6.4) for sensitizing the sheep erythrocytes. All the sera were inactivated at 56°C for half an hour and serial two f1d serum dilutions were prepared by micropipettes in microtitre U plates and sensitized erythrocytes were added to the plates and incubated at room temperature in a humid chamber for 3 hours. A titre of 1:32 and above was considered as positive. In positive reactions, the cells agglutinated like a carpet at the bottom of the wells where as in negative cases the cells settled as a compact mass in the centre of the wells. By the indirect haemagglutination test Ninety-two percent sheep were found positive for hydatidosis. (Table-4.2). Out of 50 serum samples (Group A2), 46 (92%) were confirmed positive on postmortem while 3 out of 50 (6%) hydatid free samples (Group A3), gave false positive results with IHA test.
It was concluded that indirect haemagglutination test is an accurate, reliable and sensitive test (92%) for the diagnosis of hydatidosis in sheep.
The blood cell counts (TLC, DLC) and blood chemistry (Total protein, A/G ratio) of the samples under investigation were also carried out. From the results it was evident that the hydatid cysts did not affect the blood values of the host significantly. However, only 28% of hydatid positive animals showed eosinophilia ranging from 7 to 23% which was non pathognomonic.
It was thus inferred that blood cell counts and blood c1vmistry of the hydatid cyst patients was of no diagnostic value.

Publisher: 1994Dissertation note: The investigation was conducted to study the pathology and Haemotology of broiler chickens suffering from experimental salmonella gallinarum infection. Total of 140 day did broiler chicks were reared upto 3 weeks of age and were fed on commercial poultry feed. The birds were randomly divided into four groups i,e. A, B, C and D containing 35 chicks in each group. The inoculation of broiler chicks of experimental groups were done at the age of two weeks at a dose rate of 1ml per bird through different routas ic group A through oral route, group B through subcut, group C through I/rn and group D was kept as control. All the groups were kept under close observation to record signs and symptoms. At the age of 3 weeks (7 days of post infection) the birds of experimental and control groups were slaughtered for the study of haematological parameters (Fib estimation, TEC and TLC), gross and histopathological lesions in visceral organs (Heart, Liver, lung, spleen and kidneys)
Antemortem symptoms were recorded throughout the experiment in all the infected groups and observed listlessness with ruffled feathers, droopy wings, poor growth, weakness, loss of appetite, adherence of whitish material to vent, laboured breathing, slight depression and increased thirst. Conjunctivitis and arthritis in few cases were observed.
The postmortem changes observed in all the infected groups A, B and C at the age of 21 days (7 clays post infection) included enlarged heart, necrosis of myocardium, pericarcil tis, enlarged creamy white liver with pin point haemorrhages, congested lungs with necrotic loci ple.nomegaiy. and swollen kidneys with c1isco1.oiration and triable consistency. No lesions could be observed in control group D.
Haemotological alterations were studied in all the groups i ,e A, B, C and D. There was a significant decrease in haemoglobin concentration, total erythrocytic count amongst all the infected groups A, B and C at 21 days of age (7 clays post infection) as compared to control group D. but: the total leukocytic count showed a significant increase in all the infected groups, i, e. A, B and C as compared to control group D at the 21 clays of age.
The main histopathological lesions observed in al .1 the infected groups A, B and C at the age of 21 clays (7 clays of post infection) in heart, liver, lungs, spleen and kidneys included necrosis, haemorrhage and leukocytic: infiltration. However, in few cases fatty destrophy, congestion and degenerative changes were also observed. No histopathological lesion could be observed in control group D.
From present study it was concluded that fowl typhoid caused by Salmonella gallinarum infection resulted in higher mortality and pathological changes especially through intramuscular route as compared to other routes of infection.
