| Popis: | The adrenal gland is a peripheral organ of the endocrine system that directly affects the formation of bird productivity indicators, which is an important characteristic for the development of industrial poultry farming. The purpose of this study was a morphometric assessment of the microstructural components of the adrenal gland of birds of the order Galliformes (domestic quail, chicken, turkey), Anseriformes (Muscovy duck, domestic duck, and goose) and Columbiformes (common pigeon). Anatomical, histological, morphometric, and statistical research methods were used in this study. It was found that the thickness of the adrenal capsule of birds directly depends on their body weight and varies from 10.82 ± 0.56 µm (domestic quail) to 28.53 ± 1.36 µm (domestic turkey). Interrenal tissue compared to suprarenal tissue in Muscovy ducks, common pigeons, domestic ducks, and geese occupies a larger (Р < 0.001) area of the central zone (3.50, 2.77, 3.10, and 3.11 times, respectively) and peripheral zone (1.27, 2.71, 1.38, and 1.55 times, respectively) of the adrenal gland, which indicates its morphofunctional activity. The area of the venous sinuses in the central zone compared to the peripheral zone of the adrenal gland is larger in domestic quail by 2.80 times (Р |
