Abstract: A case of gout was documented in a 1.5 year-old Chabro layer, which was brought for post-mortem examination at the Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science, DUVASU Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. Upon conducting a necropsy examination, it was observed that there was a mild congestion in the liver and kidney, along with the presence of a white chalky material on the pericardial sac and kidney surface. There was also clear evidence of kidney enlargement. Tissue samples were collected for histopathological diagnosis, using both absolute alcohol and neutral buffered formalin. Under microscopic examination, kidney sections stained with De Galantha stain showed the presence of black-coloured urate crystals, leading to the confirmatory diagnosis of visceral gout.
