Broilers suffering from stunting syndrome from three farms were shown to have pancreatic atrophy and fibrosis similar to that seen in pancreatic duct obstruction in chickens and mammals. Interlobular and intercalated ducts were found to be stenotic or occluded with inflammation and necrosis of the epithelium and wall. Inclusion bodies were seen in some duct cells. It is suggested that pancreatic duct obstruction is responsible for the maldigestion and pancreatic lesions seen in stunting syndrome.
来自三个农场患有生长迟缓综合征的肉鸡，表现出胰腺萎缩和纤维化，类似于在鸡和哺乳动物中胰腺导管阻塞时所见的情况。小叶间导管和闰管被发现狭窄或闭塞，伴有上皮和管壁的炎症和坏死。在一些导管细胞中可见包涵体。提示胰腺导管阻塞是生长迟缓综合征中消化不良和胰腺病变的原因。
