Histological Study of the Bursa of Fabricius of Broiler Chickens During Heat Stress
نویسنده
چکیده
One hundred, one day old Boiler chicks were randomly divided into two groups and kept in two rooms of different temperatures, first at a temperature of 35±2°C and the second at a temperature of 24±2°C (neutral). A samples were collected after heat exposure at 4 stages during experimental (1st, 2nd, 4th and 6 th week). Samples which were taken from the second room were served as control group. The result revealed that heat stress decreased weight of the bursa of Fabricius. Birds sacrificed at the sixth week showed a bursa with a thin parenchyma, the basal membrane hardly visible, the epithelium is folded, appearance of numerous cysts and leading subepithelial connective tissue, follicles showing lymphoid depletion and necrosis in more than 45 % of cells and moderate interfollicular fibrosis.

The aim of this paper was to examine the effect of different duration sound stress on immune organs of broiler chickens of different age. Nine groups, with 10 chickens in each group were included in experiment. The histological structure of bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and spleen were analyzed. The results indicated that the bursa of Fabricius, in relation to the other examined organs, was the m...
متن کاملEffect of Feeding Oak Acorn on Expression of IL-2, IL-13 and IFN-γ Genes in Bursa Fabricius Tissue of Broiler Chickens (Short Communication)
Today, the use of oak as a replacement feed in poultry diets is well documented. However, oak contains polyphenol compounds (tannins) as antinutrient factors resulted in limited usage in the poultry rations. Generally, consumption of feeds containing tannin could affect gene expression level of immune system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of ...

The effect of grape seed extract (GSE) feed supplementation on performance, antioxidant enzyme activity, and immune responses in broiler chickens suffering from heat stress were investigated in this study. Experimental diets including control diet (with no additive), 3 levels of GSE (150, 300, 450 mg/kg), and one level of vitamin C (300 mg/kg) as a positive control were fed to the birds from 1 ...
