Is a nutritional disease characterized by deposits of sodium urates. It occur in two forms, visceral and articular gout. In both the forms, deposits consist of chalky white materials. Visceral gout is considered to be acute form and is more insidious and difficult to detect in early stages or in live birds.
1- High protein diets. 2-Vitamin A deficiency. 3-Abnormality which impairs kidney function. 4-Insufficient water intake .
1- Age : Any age . 2-Forms: Articular form, Visceral form. Lesions: 1-Sodium urates may deposit in any visceral organ. 2-Kidneys are enlarged, light in color, and spotted with urates. 3-The ureters are enlarged and packed with urates. 4- The heart is often affected. Lesions:
1-Plenty of water. 2-Low protein diet.
Ascites is a disease of broiler chickens occurs especially at high altitude characterized by an accumulation of transudate in the peritoneal cavity or pericardial sac. The fluid, may contain yellow protein clots.

Predisposing factors includes: 1-Reduced ventilation. 2- High altitude. 3- Respiratory disease. Predisposing factors includes: Morbidity: Morbidity: Is usually 1-5% . Mortality: Mortality: 1-2% but can be 30% at high altitude.
