this experiment was conducted to compare the effects of prebiotic as alternative feed additive to an antibiotic growth promoter (bacitracin methylene disalicyate) on the growth performance and morphometrical parameters of the small intestine of broiler chickens. one hundred and forty four day old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments for 6 wk and each treatmen...

The equine large intestine consists of the following segments (in aboral direction): the cecum, the large colon, and the small colon (Fig. 36-1). Although these segments form a continuum for the passage of digesta from the ileum to the anus, the three portions are considered to be separate structures, anatomically, functionally, and surgically. The large intestine of the horse is well developed...

The small intestine, an anatomical site previously considered inaccessible to clinicians due its diameter and length, is the part of gastrointestinal tract between stomach colon. Since introduction into clinical practice two decades ago, capsule endoscopy has become established as primary modality for examining surface lining intestine. Today, researchers continue develop ground-breaking techno...

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...

This study describes the results of computed tomography (CT) of the liver, spleen, abomasum, small intestine and large intestine in 30 healthy Saanen goats. CT examination and anatomical slice preparation postmortem were performed as described in the first communication. After subjective evaluation of the CT images, various variables including the length/size, volume and density of the liver, s...
