Avian necropsy is an important diagnostic tool for identifying health problems in poultry and other bird species. This study evaluated 35 avian necropsy cases submitted over a 9-month period between April 2025 and January 2026, including 16 turkeys, 17 chickens, 1 quail, and 1 stork. Among these cases, 16 showed lesions associated with bacterial infections, including pericarditis (1), airsacculitis (7), fibrinous pneumonia (6), coligranuloma (1), and hepatitis (3); 7 were associated with viral disease; 4 were associated with parasitic disease, including hepatitis and typhlitis caused by Histomonas meleagridis; 1 case was attributed to trauma; and 7 showed no significant macroscopic or microscopic findings. Bacterial respiratory lesions represented the largest diagnostic category and were observed most often in cases submitted during the spring and summer months. These findings highlight the diagnostic value of necropsy in avian disease investigation and provide regional data on the distribution of lesions in submitted cases.
