28 one-month and 56 three-month old broiler chickens were analysed for the dynamics of total lipids, total phospholipids, total cholesterol and free fatty acids, for phospholipasis A, malonic dialdehide, endogenic tocopherols, number of thrombocytes, cephalin-coaline time, amount of fibrinogene, soluble fibrinmonomeric complexes and the state of spirochetemia. It was found that the decreasing quantity of phospholipids is a result of the increasing phospholitic activity during the development of experimental spirochetosis. The decreased parameters of total lipids, total cholesterol and free fatty acids characterize the increased lipolitic activity and the consumative tendencies in lipid metabolism, where as the lessening of endogenic tocopherols and the higher levels of malonic dialdehide illustrate a developing free radical process which is a diagnostic marker for an early-activated coagulation and is also an essential condition for alternative tendencies both in G. domestica and the microorganisms of the B. anserina species.
