An outbreak of leg weakness in turkey poults of the Larissa district (Central Greece) is described. Turkey poults at the age of on3 week were affected, the symptoms being more severe in male than in female. Chemical analysis of the used food disclosed low biotin content. Biotin addition to the food or drinking water prevented further cases. Tne increased needs for biotin in new breeds of turkeys are discussed under the light of recent knowledge on the subject.

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of levels of sodium salts in the feed and drinking water on the occurrence of ascites and edema in turkey poults. Poults were fed rations containing four levels of added sodium chloride: 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2 per cent in combination with six levels of a 3:2:1 mixture of Na2SO4; NaCl and NaHCO3 added to the drinking water; 0, 750, 1500, 3000, 4500 and 6000 parts per million.Rate of mortality and incidence of ascites and edema were influenced by the amount of salt added to the feed as well as by the concentration of salts in the drinking water. With higher levels of salt in the feed lower levels of salts in the water were toxic, while with low levels of salt in the feed poults were able to tolerate higher levels of salts in the drinking water.Mortality and incidence of ascites and edema increased sharply at 3 days of age, reached a peak at 6 days of age and declined and stopped after 12 days on treatment.

AbstractThe genus Klebsiella is seemingly ubiquitous in terms of its habitat associations. Klebsiella is a common opportunistic pathogen for humans and other animals, as well as being resident or transient flora (particularly in the gastrointestinal tract). Other habitats include sewage, drinking water, soils, surface waters, industrial effluents, and vegetation. Until recently, almost all these Klebsiella have been identified as one species, ie, K. pneumoniae. However, phenotypic and genotypic studies have shown that “K. pneumoniae” actually consists of at least four species, all with distinct characteristics and habitats. General habitat associations of Klebsiella species are as follows: K. pneumoniae—humans, animals, sewage, and polluted waters and soils; K. oxytoca—frequent association with most habitats; K. terrigena— unpolluted surface waters and soils, drinking water, and vegetation; K. planticola—sewage, polluted surface waters, soils, and vegetation; and K. ozaenae/K. rhinoscleromatis—infrequently detected (primarily with humans).
