Practical significance of the proposed methods of diagnosing of chicken tuberculosis

Determining of the practical significance of the proposed methods of intravital and postmortem diagnosis of chicken tuberculosis was the goal of this study. A total 750 artificially infected chickens were subject ed to the study. The results of clinical studies were compared with allergic, laboratory, pathological, serological methods with allergic ones. The widespread distribution of mycobacteria in feces and the importance of the bacteriological research method in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis in chickens have been established. The information content of the serological method and its practical significance with a double intradermal test are shown. The implementation of laboratory diagnostics made it possible to establish the sensitivity of the bacteriological method in comparison with the bacterioscopic method and to significantly increase the number of chickens on the early stage of the disease, is advanced form and on the anergic stage. A pronounced tropism of mycobacteria to the bone marrow of long bones was revealed. Decipherin of the possible mechanisms of infection and detection of chicken tuberculosis will allow us to develop an effective prevention system.
