this study was conducted because of influence of prebiotics (alphamune) and symbiotic (biomin) on histometrical development of small intestine and lymphatic tissue of caecal tonsil have been not reported on broiler chicken. in this study, different parts of small intestine and caecal tonsil, which is a major area of gut associated lymphatic tissue (galt) in chicken were selected. one hundred an...

aquatics are a source of bioactive compounds that these compounds have different properties such as antimicrobial activity. in this study, antibacterial activity of methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts from body wall, gonad and intestine of sea cucumber holothuria leucospilota was evaluated against bacillus subtilis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus. bioactive compounds of b...

The intestinal bacterial diversity of Stichopus japonicus was investigated using 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) clone library and Polymerase Chain Reaction/Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). The clone library yielded a total of 188 clones, and these were sequenced and classified into 106 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with sequence similarity ranging from 88 to 100%. The cov...

exogenous enzymes such as xylanase can cause recovery of efficiency in poultry. in this study we investigated the effects of xylanase supplementation on small intestine histomorphometry in broilers chicken. two levels of xylanase supplementation (with or without 0.07% xylanase) was used in 4 treatment groups (two repetitions for each group and 15 chicks per group). after 42 days, 10 chicks from...

Bilirubin as such is not reabsorbed from the intestine by way of the portal vein in healthy animals. Bilirubin may be absorbed from the intestine by the lymphatics but only in minute amounts. Urobilin is reabsorbed from the intestine by way of the portal vein and by way of the lymphatics.
