Total of 1787 birds were examined in the duration of eleven months among them 361 birds found to be positive for various type of disease conditions. Annual mortality in diseased birds occurred because of coccidiosis (38.50%), colibacillosis (15.51%), heatstroke (13.01%), enteritis (12.46) and others reasons. Highest incidence of diseased conditions with respect to age was found in adult birds as 25.26% whereas lowest was in chicks with 11.20%.
