Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate gross pathologies of Newcastle disease in Maiduguri metropolis observed during necropsy. The study utilized poultry necropsy records from University of Maiduguri Veterinary Teaching Hospital (UMVTH) and Senator Ali Modu Sherriff Veterinary Hospital, Maiduguri (2013-2023). 1,175 (15.774%) out of the 7,449 carcasses examined were ND positive. The yearly trend of ND cases showed a slight decline (r= -0.177) but not significant (P>0.05). Cases based on chicken types differ significantly (P<0.05). It occurred in 73.957% broilers, 11.915% layers, 4.522% noilers, 0.937% local chickens and 0.426% pigeons. Turkeys and cocks had 2.043% and 1.957%, respectively (P>0.05), and 0.085% peacock, 0.085% duck and 0.085 brahma (P>0.05). the proportion of poultry types reared in Maiduguri vary significantly (P<0.05). There were 70.154% broilers, 23.834% layers, and the least were 0.004% duck, 0.003% brahma and 0.002% peacock (P>0.05). Cases of ND occurred in birds aged 1 to >20 weeks, but occurrence was more frequent in birds aged 3 to 4 weeks. 6.383% of 1,175 cases were complicated by diseases such as colibacillosis (41.333%), which varied significantly (P<0.05) form salmonellosis (18.667%), coccidiosis (14.667%), IBD (13.333%), and necrotic enteritis (10.667%) that had comparable values (P>0.05), and IBD + colibacillosis had 1.333% (P<0.05). Digestive organs (intestine, proventriculus, liver) had 1,519, lymphoid organs (spleen, caecal tonsils) had 943, respiratory organs (lung, trachea) had 333 and urinary organ (kidney) had 38 occurrences of gross lesion (P<0.05). This report, therefore, confirms the endemicity of ND in poultry in Maiduguri metropolis.
