Abstract

Gastrointestinal disorders in backyard poultry are incredibly common and the most common aetiology is poor husbandry. This chapter covers conditions of the oral cavity, crop, oesophagus, and proventriculus and ventriculus. Endoparasites, conditions of the intestinal tract causing diarrhoea and related systemic diseases are described in depth. Consideration is also given to the inappetent bird and veterinary public health.
