“…The two forms do not occur together in the same individual (Stonebrink, 1947;Siller, 1959c;Florio and Cottereau, 1960;Austic and Cole, 1972). In none of the cases of articular gout examined by Peterson et al (1971) were there any with visceral lesions.…”

“…Concentrations of more than 44 mg% have been recorded by Heath (1970) in IB nephritis in birds with severe renal damage which, however, did not show visceral urate deposition. Peterson et al (1971) quoted urate levels of 100 mg% in birds with articular gout in which there were no visceral urate deposits.…”

“…Very severe clinical signs were observed at 47 mg per 100 ml blood. Individual birds from genetic lines with high incidence of gout on an 80% protein diet were found by Peterson et al (1971) to have levels approaching 100 mg%.…”

“…It appears as though there is some as yet unidentified factor in meat because it is not simply the level of dietary protein that induces these gouty lesions. Siller (1959c) fed up to 60% (non-meat) protein to fowls and Peterson et al (1971) used diets of 80% protein without producing either articular or visceral lesions. This discrepancy was assumed by Siller (1959c) to be due to an imbalance of amino acids in the horse flesh diet, causing a relatively greater production of uric acid.…”

“…Kionka (1900) had already noticed that some breeds of fowls were resistant to his meat diet but convincing evidence was produced by Cole et al (1969). Since then others have established genetic lines with a very high incidence of articular gout (Peterson et al, 1971;Komiyamaef al., 1977a). The latter workers (Komiyama et al, 1977b) demonstrated that the inheritance was due to an autosomal simple recessive gene.…”

On the basis of published literature and some original observations a comprehensive review is presented of the current concept of renal diseases in the fowl. All aspects of this important but much neglected subject are considered including autolysis, intoxications, inflammatory and degenerative conditions, specific viral diseases, gout, congenital abnormalities and neoplasms. The aetiology and pathogenesis of some forms of avian kidney disease are well understood but there are large gaps in our knowledge on others.

Previous studies have shown that the activities of the hepatic enzymes xanthine dehydrogenase and nucleoside phosphorylase, as well as the uric acid excreted, can be used to determine the quality of the protein consumed in chickens, in a short time and using a small amount of the test protein. A common observation in protein quality evaluation is that the food intake of the control animals is considerably greater than that observed in those receiving proteins of low quality. Since this can a †ect the results, this study measured the quality of garbanzo bean and black bean proteins in chickens fed these beans ad libitum, feeding the bean diets at the level observed in the controls (soy protein ] methionine) by enteral intubation or pair feeding the controls with the amount of food consumed by the chickens receiving the bean diets. In every case, protein quality was determined by protein efficiency ratio, net protein utilisation or the biochemical methods used in this study. The results showed that, when fed ad libitum, the animals assigned to the bean diets exhibited a lower food intake than the controls but, by tube feeding, food intake was made equal in both groups. Equal consumption, between these groups, was also obtained by reducing the amount of food o †ered to the controls to the levels measured in the groups assigned to the bean diets (pair feeding). These feeding strategies had a marked e †ect on growth, carcass protein content, protein catabolism and also in the results of protein quality. Thus, the control whose intake was reduced grew less, accumulated less protein in tissues and catabolised more of the protein consumed than the control fed ad libitum. In contrast, the chickens assigned to the bean diets, but whose food intake was increased by tube feeding, grew better, accumulated more protein in tissues and catabolised less protein. In general, the results of these experiments conÐrm the e †ectiveness of the biochemical methods for estimating protein quality and indicate that the protein quality of both garbanzo beans and black beans increased when it was measured at a food intake equivalent to that measured in the control animals. Since the overall purpose of this study was to evaluate techniques for protein quality determination meant to be applicable to humans nutrition rather than poultry nutrition, single proteins were used instead of combinations of proteins.
