A presumptive diagnosis in the fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus) from Assam (India).
In postmortem examination of carcasses of White Leghorn chickens, 3 had typical gross lesions of necrotic enteritis affecting the small intestines. The occurrence of avian necrotic enteritis was noticed after an outbreak of coccidiosis had subsided. On the basis of the gross and microscopic examination the disease was differentiated from coccidiosis and ulcerative enteritis.
