Abstract: Information about diseases in domestic fowls in New Zealand is contained in two books (Anon., 1965; Anon,., 1971). The following diseases have been the subject of separate reports: Salmonella newington infection (Flannery, 1954); lead poisoning (Salisbury et al 1958); Ornithonyssus sylviarum infestation (Thomas and Watson, 1958); infectious laryngotracheitis (Webster, 1959); mycoplasmosis (Pohl, 1966); infectious bronchitis (Pohl, 1967); uraemia (Pohl., 1968); coccidiosis (Pohl, 1969) ; vibriosis (Pohl, et al 1969) and capillariasis (Rickard and Pohl, 1969). This report gives the results of an analysis of disease reports obtained from the examination of domestic fowls at Ruakura Animal Health Laboratory over a 2-year period.
