the effects of dietary supplementation of grape seed extract (gse) and vitamin c on carcass characteristics, gut morphology and ileal microflora in broiler chickens exposed to chronic heat stress were examined. experimental diets included a control diet (without additive), 3 levels of gse (150, 300, 450 mg/kg of diet), and vitamin c (300 mg/kg of diet). each of the five diets was fed to 5 repli...

a study was conducted to evaluate efficacyof wheat based vs. corn based diets on growth performance, carcass traits,blood parameters, jejunum morphological development, immunity, cecal microflora and excreta moisture in broiler chicks fed according to digestible essential amino acid profile. one hundred forty day old ross 308 male broiler chicks randomly distributed into ten separated floor pen...

The possibility that the small intestine may represent a reservoir for Clostridium difficile was studied, using segments of human jejunum collected at necropsy. Our results (three of 100 specimens positive for C difficile culture) support the hypothesis that C difficile can be found in human jejunum and that it adheres to the normal mucosa as a resident bacterium. These findings suggest that ga...

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to examine villous structures at different parts in the small intestines of 22-week-old chickens. Duodenum revealed plate-like villi with large number of goblet cells on the duodenal epithelium. Jejunum and ileum both revealed leaf-like villi, but the amount of goblet cells was greater in the jejunum. A putative effect of villous structures on the int...

UNLABELLED Adult intussusception is rare. The author is reporting a case of adult intussusception in a 60-year-old female inside of incisional hernia sac, acting as a lead point. The presentation was subacute intestinal obstruction. Ultrasonography was useful adjunct in diagnosis. The site for intussusception was jejunum. Intussusception was seen protruding into hernial sac with adhesions of gu...

a standard surgical procedure (Judd et al., 1931). The object of this paper is to show that the best treatment may be primary anastomosis to the stomach, duodenum or jejunum, and that this is usually possible. The operation of marsupialization has several disadvantages, and consequently should, in the opinion of writer, give place to this procedure of primary anastomosis to the stomach, duodenu...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary acid detergent fiber (ADF) levels on the growth performance, intestinal integrity and mucosal immunity of weaning New Zealand rabbits. Three isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets were formulated, containing ADF 150, 200 and 250 g/kg DM, respectively (treatment A150, A200 and A250, respectively. A200 was treated as the control grou...
