Abstract:
Newcastle disease (ND) is an economically important and highly transmissible viral disease that affects many avian species, including domestic poultry. Samples were collected from different backyard broiler farms in Bangalore, Karnataka. Further, samples were subjected to gross examination and histopathological examination to detect the presence of Newcastle disease in the field samples. Gross examination reveals the typical Newcastle disease virus (NDV) lesions and histopathological examination revealed severe haemorrhages and congestion in the organs.
