The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of organic acids and phytase enzyme supplementation on performance and intestinal histomorphology of broilers. The experiment was done in a factorial arrangement 2 × 2 × 2 based on completely randomized design with eight treatments, five replicates with 12 chicks in each until 42 days of age. Diets included natural vinegar (0 and 2%),...

Radiation-induced mucositis is a common and serious side effect of radiotherapy. Molecular mechanisms of mucosal injury, however, are still poorly understood and extremely difficult to study in humans. A novel Dark Agouti rat model using fractionated radiotherapy to induce mucositis has been developed to investigate the occurrence of alimentary mucosal injury. Twenty-four Dark Agouti rats were ...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a relatively rare, benign, hamartomatous, and cystic odontogenic neoplasm that was first described more than a century ago. The lesion still continues to intrigue experts with its varied histomorphology and controversies regarding its development. The present article describes a case of cystic AOT with an unusual histomorphology associated with an impacted...

the purpose of this study was to gain more information on the structure of different layers of renal arteryand comparing these structures in post-natal male and female sheep. to do so, right and left renal arteries of6 adult and 6 newborn animals were dissected; the middle parts of arteries were only collected. after tissueprocessing using paraffin embedding method, 5–6-μm sections were cut and...

Early development of the digestive tract is crucial for achieving maximal growth and development of chickens. This study examined the effects of in ovo (IO) feeding of 0.70 mL of dextrose (10.00% and 20.00%) or amino acids solutions into the yolk sac at day 14 of incubation on small intestine histomorphometry and histomorphology, intestinal development, hatchability, body weight, and l...

background: the loop pattern of the small intestine is of considerable importance in categorizing them and the intestine length of the two sex is different. in this respect there is no research performed on pheasant family as guinea fowl. objectives: in this research histomorphology of guinea fowl's small intestine was studied. methods: for this study 20 adult male and female guinea fowls ...

morphological and histochemical study of the abomasal epithelium in camel (camelus dromedarius) wascarried out by light and scanning electron microscopes. the lining of the abomasum was divided into fourregions, i.e. cardiac, pseudocardiac, fundic and pyloric. our investigation revealed that the cardiac andpseudocardiac regions occupy a wide part of the abomasum in camel and it reaches approxim...

Two hundred 1-day-old commercial broilers (Ross 308) were used to determine the effects of diets supplementation with waste date's vinegar (WDV) on the growth and performance of digestive tract over a 42-days growing period. Chicks were randomly allocated to one of five experimental diets supplementing as 0 (control), 1, 2, and 3% of WDV and 2% industrial vinegar (IV). Broilers and their feed c...

Small ruminants pancreas is a major accessory organ and has an important role in digestion. Endocrine part of pancreas is Islets of Langerhans which are highly vascularized, consisting of several endocrine cell types that function together to maintain glucose homeostasis. There has been limited scientific work done on the histomorphological study of pancreas in Deccani sheep Bidri goat. The pre...

fecaloma is a mass of hardened feces being impacted mostly in rectum and sigmoid. the most common sites of the fecaloma is the sigmoid colon and the rectum. there are several causes of fecaloma and have been described in association with hirschsprung’s disease, psychiatric patients, chagas disease, both inflammatory and neoplastic, and in patients suffering with chronic constipation. up to now ...
