The liver of day- old poult was located in thoracoabdominal cavity and was composed of right and left lobes.

The liver weighed 1.74 ± 0.020g and its right lobe was ellipsoidal whereas left lobe was triangular. It was yellow in colour and presented by two surfaces, viz. parietal and visceral and three borders viz. medial, lateral and caudal.
