Intussusception of jejunum in pullet naturally infected with coccidiosis: A case report

This paper describes a rare case of jejunal intussusception in a pullet that suffered from severe diarrhea and succumbed to death. Based on necropsy and microscopic examination, the recorded case of intussusception was found to be associated with severe coccidial enteritis. It is suggested on the basis of present findings and earlier published reports that, intussusception in birds could be attributed to conditions that causes reduced feed intake, hyperirritability, and increased intestinal motility.
