not debaked - do immediate debeaking, provide salt 0.25 % in diet, 18 % cp, 8% fibre, floor space 2 sq.ft, switch off light for one week, then slowly increase lighting period 5-7pm , 5- 6 am, provide mud pot at corner of house for laying

Hi Guys,
Anybody else has experienced biogenic amines causing proventriculus to become flaccid or enlarged?
There is also a similar Proventricular Dialation disease caused by Avian Bornavirus? How is the Biosecurity of the sheds?

I have seen such cases , in Pune region during 2007-2009 period with enlarged proventriculus and gizzard erosions. In your case it is 100% HPS and IBH based on lesions mentioned by you.

There are probably several factors.
2 main culprits:
1) infectiuous "proventriculitis" caused by a mix of more or less identifieed virus and bacteria
2) good pellet quality made of very fine mash. That means high feed intake but very poor control of the feed flow in the upper gut and no development of the gizzard muscle. This has probably an effect on the dilatation isthm section.
This factor is e ...

Proventriculitis could be the causes virus eg. Reo adeno, IBD, IB virus. could be bacterial origin eg.
clostridium or other causes as biogenic amines,copper sulfate toxicity and mycotoxicosis.

There have been recent issues with proventriculitis due to sodium bicarbonate contaminated with flouride.
