QUESTION

A lesion characterized by great thickening of small intestine due to extensive velvet like necrosis of mucosal lining in birds is?

OPTIONS

(A) Ulcerative enteritis
(B) Necrotic enteritis
(C) Coccidiosis
(D) Tuberculosis

ANSWER

(C) Coccidiosis

EXPLANATION

Coccidiosis can cause marked thickening of affected intestinal segments with extensive velvety necrosis of the mucosa depending on the Eimeria species and severity. Ulcerative and necrotic enteritis produce different lesion patterns, while tuberculosis produces granulomatous nodules rather than diffuse velvety mucosal necrosis.
