background: the northern pike esox lucius is a fresh water species belonging to the esocidae family. it is a carnivorous fish which mostly feeds on invertebrates and fishes. the morphology of its intestine is very useful for understanding the fish’s digestive physiology, diagnosing some intestinal diseases and formulating suitable feeds. objectives: this study was designed to determine the anat...

It was not until the 1950s that a better paradigm for bone biology evolved, which led to the birth of bone histomorphometry. Two clinicians, Harold Frost (1958-1964) and Lent Johnson (1964), were responsible for the paradigm stating that the primary function of bone is mechanical load bearing with subsidiary function to participate in plasma calcium homeostasis to support hematopoesis. Dynamic ...

Evaluation of the Effect using Complete Branches Albizia on Histomorphometry and Histopathology Rumen, Liver Kidneys in Fattening Lambs

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...
