              Abstract 
 
                              
                              Avian Adenovirus was isolated from naturally 
                              infected broiler chickens. Two Liversample were 
                              collected in glycerol saline from the birds came 
                              from Aman and Jankipoutry farm for the postmortem 
                              in the Dept. of pathology,Veterinary 
                              college,Anand(Gujarat). Extraction of viral DNA 
                              from infected liver tissues was done as per the 
                              method of Meuleman et al., (2001) with minor 
                              modifications. The amplified PCR analyzed by 
                              agarose gel electrophoresis indicated DNA 
                              fragments of approximately 890 bp as expected by 
                              primer HexonA F & HexonB R. PCR assay revealed 
                              presence of IBH-HPS virus in both samples. 
                              Obtained PCR product of both sample were subjected 
                              to DNA sequencing and obtained sequencing was 
                              compared with other matched sequince. On 
                              phylogenetic analysis using Clustal W program 
                              showed 3 major group like upper, middle and lower 
                              respectively. In the minor branch of upper group 
                              the AMAN and JANKI isolates were found to group 
                              with Fowl adenovirus 12 strain 380 and Fowl 
                              adenovirus 11 strain C2B, so AMAN and JANKI 
                              isolates indicating a new fowl adenovirus 
                              genotype.
