Fatty and hemorrhagic liver and kidney syndrome in breeding hens caused by aflatoxin B1 and heat stress in the Sudan.

Fatty liver in animals is commonly associated with toxic or nutritional disease. In tropical Africa, fatty liver in poultry is of considerable economic importance. However, it's occurrence and association with renal damage have not yet been reported. We now report the effects of hemorrhagic and fatty hepatorenal syndrome in Hybro breeding hens naturally exposed to heat stress and fed low level of aflatoxin B1.
