Abstract
IN poultry and pigeons, subcutaneous emphysema is known as a disorder caused by air escaping from the respiratory system (air sacs, lungs and trachea). In such cases, the escaped air accumulates in the subcutis and inflates the skin. This condition can be improved by repeated puncturing of the skin and by expressing the air.
