Summary: The bacterium Clostridium chauvoei causes disease in
certain animals, most frequently in cattle and sheep. It occurs rarely in
pigs, while equines and poultry appear to be resistant to infection. Two
cases are presented in which C. chauvoei was isolated from disease of
complex aetiology in hens. In Case I, 15-week-old light hybrid chicken were
affected with chronic respiratory disease, coccidiosis, ascariasis and
inflammation of the skin on the head, with necrosis of the comb. Growth was
uneven and mortality reached 24%. Clostridium chauvoei was isolated from
two of three combs examined. In Case II a flock of broiler breaderrs aged
11 weeks developed coccidiosis and, owing to disease or death, 60% were
excluded from production. Clostridium chauvoei was isolated from all of 10
livers examined. These results demonstrate that C. chauvoei can infect
chickens and that its possible role as a pathogen under certain
circumstances should be further investigated.
