The present study was, therefore, conducted to investigate effects of the MOS supplementation on growth performance, viscera development, mineral absorption and
caecal microbiota in Japanese quail.
There was loss of intestinal villi, disruption of
caecal mucosa and clusters of oocysts seen.
For necropsy, the tissues of brain, trachea,
caecal tonsil, liver, spleen, bursa of Fabricius, proventriculus, and thymus were fixed in 10% buffered formalin.
Caecal diameter of 9-12 cm warrants ischemia and subsequent perforation if not managed urgently [5].
For the in vitro analysis, three bottles were assigned to each one of the silages in three runs (three different weeks), plus two bottles as blanks (i.e.,
caecal fluid and buffer only), so that a total of 189 bottles were analyzed and each bottle was the observational unit.
The histopathological examination showed
caecal tuberculosis.
describes a
caecal adenocarcinoma presenting as an appendiceal abscess [8].
The operative finding was that of an unresectable
caecal tumour, and a defunctioning loop colostomy was formed.
No tumour involvement was revealed in the omentum or the
caecal appendix.
Caecal coccidioisis, caused by Eimeria tenella, is a major threat to poultry production.
Bacterial DNA was isolated from the frozen ileal and
caecal digesta samples using an EZNATM stool DNA extraction kit (Omega BioTek, Doraville, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
