Intestinal swabs were received from ten-day-old pheasant poults of which 100 had died out of 1,000 birds placed. Pale nodules were reported in the wall of the caeca and large intestine and there were caseous caecal cores. Bacterial culture resulted in the isolation of Salmonella Pullorum, indicating a diagnosis of pullorum disease (bacillary white diarrhoea).
