Abstract: Forty Chicken 4 weeks old and 800 - 1000 g average
body weight were used. They kept in a balanced diet to study some performance,
and clinicopathological changes under E.coli 0157:H7
infection. Ten chickens kept as control and 30 were infected with E. coli 015,: H7 by dose
0.05m1 (x 107 CFU) inoculated intramuscularly. Body weight were
recorded, blood samples were collected at 7, 15, 30 days post infection, serum was separated for determination of AST,
ALT, Total protein.
Albumin, urea, creatinine, calcium phosphorous, sodium, potassium and cortisol
hormone. The biochemical analysis showed increase in AST and ALT and a
significant change in protein. Hypoalbuminemia, was observed, increase of serum
urea, creatinine, hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphatemia, and decrease in level of
potassium, sodium and cortisol hormone in areas. Blood examination revealed
pancytopenia. This indicates that E.
coli 0157: H7 causes deleterious effect on the Hematopoietic
system.
