Riemerella anatipestifer (RA) is the causative agent of septicemic and exudative disease for a variety of bird species.Although RA had been isolated from chickens, whether can bring damages to them is not unrevealed yet.In this study, we report a flock of SanHuang chickens infected by 16th sustainment brigade patch RA with 15% morbidity and less than 8% mortality.

The infection is further substantiated by case duplicate.The tested lin76 chickens demonstrate typical signs of pericarditis, air sacculitis and perihepatitis that are completely consistent with the field outbreak.The results suggest that RA is pathogenic to SanHuang chickens, which can then be theoretically and practicably incorporated into its infection spectrum.
