PULMONARY HYPERTENSION (ASCITIS) SYNDROME IN BROILER CHICKENS

pulmonary hypertension syndrome pulmonary hypertension syndrome 463.464.The pulmonary hypertension syndrome (PHS) or ascitis is related to the rapid growth and enhanced metabolic processes in broilers. Affected chickens are with a strongly distended abdomen, reluctance to move, respiratory troubles and cyanosis.
 
The pleuroperitoneal cavity of affected chickens is filled with straw-yellow fluid. The rapid growth in contemporary broilers is related to higher needs for oxygen, and the lung remains relatively small vs body dimensions The pleuroperitoneal cavity of affected chickens is filled with straw-yellow fluid.

The rapid growth in contemporary broilers is related to higher needs for oxygen, and the lung remains relatively small vs body dimensions. The main factor for PHS is hypoxaemia that results in enhanced cardiac activity. The consequences are pulmonary hypertension, right cardiac failure and ascitis.
 
Immediate causes for hypoxaemia are the inadequate ventilation, the high ammonia or dust levels in premises, low temperatures, stimulating the metabolic processes. Generalized passive venous hyperaemia and stasis in the liver and other viscera are observed.

In advanced stages, the regenerative reparative processes in the liver could occur. The lypoxia favours the growth of connective tissue in the interstitium that results in thickening of the organ and appearance of sclerotic lesions.

The stasis is sometimes causing liver rupture and internal bleeding. 473.The stasis is sometimes causing liver rupture and internal bleeding.
 
In a number of cases, a secondary contamination with E. coli could occur and therefore a serious fibrnous inflammation, manifested as polyserostis, could be observed. 474.In a number of cases, a secondary contamination with E. coli could occur and therefore a serious fibrnous inflammation, manifested as polyserostis, could be observed.
 
a left compensatory hypertrophy is observed (transverse cross-section of a fixed heart). 475.a left compensatory hypertrophy is observed (transverse cross-section of a fixed heart).
 
The right ventricle at an early stage is hyper-trophied whereas at a later -dilated with extremely thinned wall (transverse cross sections of fixed heart). The diagnosis is based on gross lesions. The reduction of oxygen requirements by slowing down the metabolism protects from and decreases the incidence of ascitis. Restriction of forage consumption and various light patterns are recommended.
