Abstract :
Trauma in poultry can be caused by attacks from other animals, foreign objects penetrating the body, getting trapped in cages, injuries caused by hunters, and hitting hard objects during flight. In literature, non-displaced fractures caused by beak injuries in poultry have been reported to have a good prognosis. Cases of fractures with displacement between fragments can also be treated, but situations where complete anatomical reduction cannot be achieved or occlusion disorders that may occur during the postoperative period can cause misalignment of the beak, feeding difficulties in the future, and difficulties in grasping during other daily activities. This study aims to present the treatment of a mandibular fracture in a gray heron.
