Macroscopically, the foci of pneumonia in lugs were voluminous or collapsed according to the nature and duration of the disease. Histological changes were oedema, hyalin membranes, epithelisation in alveoli and lympho- histiocytic proliferation in the interalveolar tissues. On the other hand, macrophages established in some alveoli and bronchioli. Bacteriologically, Pasteurella spp., Salmonella spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were observed.
