| Abstrakt: | Cases of sodium toxicosis (ST), although reported infrequently, can result in acute morbidity and mortality and extensive losses in affected poultry. We analyzed the clinical, pathologic, and toxicologic findings of 7 diagnosed cases of ST in chicken autopsy submissions at the California Animal Health & Food Safety Laboratory System (CAHFS), University of California-Davis, from 2014 to 2023. We also evaluated the brain sodium concentrations in 10 clinically normal broiler chickens to elucidate potential differences with salt-intoxicated chickens, and reviewed the literature of field cases of ST in chickens and turkeys. Lesions of anasarca described in the 7 ST cases (66 chickens) identified from the CAHFS database included: ascites (62 of 66; 6 of 7 cases); hydropericardium and cardiomegaly (54; 6 of 7); edematous, congested lungs (24; 6 of 7); enlarged, pale kidneys (24; 6 of 7); subcutaneous edema (17; 4 of 7); cystic testes (14; 6 of 7); and cerebral edema (7; 4 of 7). Brain sodium concentrations exceeded 1,800 ppm in only 4 of 24 brains analyzed in our case series. In the feed samples analyzed from 5 ST cases, sodium concentrations exceeded the recommended 2,000 ppm; concentrations detected were 2,500-12,000 ppm. In brains from the 10 clinically normal chickens evaluated, brain sodium concentrations were 1,500-1,700 ppm.
