Abstract:Background and Objective: The primary organ of systemic immunity in birds is the spleen. In chickens, the spleen is the largest peripheral lymphoid organ, although little is known about how the spleen develops after hatching. Since the spleen plays a significant role in broiler chickens' defensive mechanisms, the present study aimed to examine the age-related post-hatch development of the spleen, specifically its biometry and histomorphometry at various post-hatch developmental stages. Materials and Methods: T… Show more
