A report on acute disease and irreversible depression of egg production in turkeys associated with considerable economic losses, probably due to bacterial contamination of the semen diluent. The disease was almost completely reproduced experimentally using remainders of this semen diluent and a suspension of bacteria isolated from the diluent. On post-mortem examination, active ovaries, chronic peritonitis, residues of yolk in the abdomen and inflammation of the infundibulum were observed. In view of the presence of pathological changes in this portion of the oviduct, the depressed egg production was probably due to impairment of function of the infundibulum.
一份关于火鸡急性疾病和产蛋量不可逆下降的报告，这与相当大的经济损失相关，可能是由于精液稀释剂受到细菌污染所致。使用这种精液稀释剂的剩余部分以及从稀释剂中分离出的细菌悬液进行实验，几乎完全重现了这种疾病。尸检时，观察到卵巢活跃、慢性腹膜炎、腹部有蛋黄残留以及漏斗部炎症。鉴于输卵管这一部分存在病理变化，产蛋量下降可能是由于漏斗部功能受损所致。
