Slaughter presentation
• July 14th 2016 – approximately 2,000 12 week old meat geese sent to slaughter
• No concerns on ante mortem inspection
• Post mortem, inspectors reported extensive air sacculitis, poor bleed out and dark colouration (cyanosis)
• Suspected aspergillosis – raised on soyabean straw
• Representative goose carcasses frozen and sent to AHL on July 19th

• Did not seem representative of photos/description
– Most air sacs removed by processing

Diagnostics at AHL
Each submission:
• Gross post mortem
• Virology - PCR for avian influenza, avian paramyxovirus
• Culture - Tissues submitted for bacterial, mycoplasma and fungus culture
– Were suspecting a goose-specific species of Mycoplasma so asked for mycoplasma culture

AHL results
• Virology – negative
• Culture
– All negative for fungus – not seen on air sac wet mounts or histology either
– 2nd submission one carcass 3+ Klebsiella oxytoca
– 1st submission was culture positive for M. synoviae on Aug 10th

AHL results
• Conducted MS and MG PCR testing on trachea, lung, airsac swabs from first two submissions
– All were positive for Mycoplasma synoviae and negative for Mycoplasma gallisepticum
• Meanwhile, third submission have been made so lung and airsac pools were also tested
– Positive for Mycoplasma synoviae
• But …

Goose Mycoplasmosis
Generally, reported diseases:
• Embryonic death
• Fibrinous airsacculitis and pneumonia +/- arthritis +/- delayed growth
• Respiratory disease and low mortality
• Once reproductively active, decreased egg laying, obvious clinical respiratory disease and increasing mortality
• Influenced by husbandry
(Stipkovits & Szathmary 2012)

Conclusion
• This is the first identification of Mycoplasma synoviae causing primary disease in geese in Ontario
• Plant also contracts the raising of ducks and silkie chickens
• Slaughters both young silkies and cull silkie breeders
– Cull silkie breeders historically have had high condemnations for airsacculitis
