18 lut 2023 · Many factors interact to cause ascites, including management practices, environmental conditions, and genetic makeup. In the modern broiler industry, ascites syndrome (AS), also called...
8 kwi 2008 · If this is not done, inefficient production and several metabolic diseases such as ascites become apparent. The causes of the ascites are multifactorial but diet and, particularly, interactions between diet, other environmental and genetic factors play an important role.
1 sty 2013 · Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) syndrome in broilers (also known as ascites syndrome and pulmonary hypertension syndrome) can be attributed to imbalances between cardiac output and the anatomical capacity of the pulmonary vasculature to accommodate ever-increasing rates of blood flow, as well as to an inappropriately elevated tone (degree ...
A number of metabolic problems, such as ascites, arise in chickens due to intensive selection to manifest their genetic potential for rapid growth. Ascites syndrome (Pulmonary Hypertension Syndrome) is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in modern broiler production today.
Ascites is a pathological condition that is usually related to the accumulation of body fluid, especially in the abdominal cavity of chickens. This fluid is composed of lymph and blood plasma and is caused by the body’s inability to supply the required oxygen demand (hypoxia).
According to the literature, the main causes of ascites in modern broiler chickens are an excess of resistance to pulmonary blood inflow as well as an increased need for oxygen due...
Ascites is a multi-factorial syndrome caused by interactions between physiological, environmental and management factors. Its presence in a broiler flock will have a significant effect on the biological and economical performance of the flock.
