摘要: Gross and histological examinations were carried out on 88 Indian deer which succumbed at Nandankanan Biological Park during 1967–1988.

Nodular hyperplasia liver, perhaps aflatoxins, most common lesion hogdeer (ten cases). Among systemic diseases, nephrosis followed pneumonia hepatitis undetermined etiology We rarifying osteitis affecting nasal chamber congential anomaly skeleton newly born fawn. A trichobezoar trichobezoar-cum-phytobezoar recovered rumen This study indicated that captive suffer wide range diseases either alone or combination.
