“…Casotti (2001) reported a similar pattern of villi distribution in the colorectum of house sparrows. It has been established that the ion absorption and water preservation capacity of the large intestine differs among different species of birds (Dehkordi & Shakaram, 2018). Smooth muscle fibres of lamina muscularis mucosae and tunica muscularis of the colorectum ensure contractility in the organ, including retrograde peristalsis required to modify intestinal chime and urine composition in the colorectum (Dehkordi & Shakaram, 2018; Lacy, 2011).…”

Morphological changes in the late‐embryo‐stage gastrointestinal tract of Nigerian indigenous chicken were investigated using anatomical techniques. The paraffin‐embedded sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid Schiff‐Alcian blue (pH 2.5) stains. During the late pre‐hatch period, the framework of the stomach was already established, but glands were yet poorly developed. Randomly oriented pre‐glandular cells in the lamina propria mucosae at embryonic day (ED) 14 became organized into elongated simple tubular glands at ED 19 and assumed adult morphology at post‐hatch day (PD) 1. Acidic and neutral mucin deposits were associated with the glandular cells. In the small intestine, enterocytes of the tunica epithelialis mucosae transformed from cuboidal‐shaped cells (at ED 14) to tall columnar cells (at PD 1). Short crypts of Lieberkühn, goblet cells, microfold cells and enteroendocrine cells were evident at ED 19, while the lamina propria mucosae and submucosa contained mesenchymal cells, reticular cells and isolated lymphoblasts. Similarly, the crypts, lymphoblasts, mesenchymal and reticular cells were also associated with the lamina propria mucosae and submucosa of the caecum and colorectum at ED 19. It was inferred from these findings that extensive cellular and tissue modifications occur in the gastrointestinal tract within the narrow window of the late pre‐hatch period. The definitive gut tunics, epithelium, glandular tissues, immune‐competent cells and tissues are formed as a result. Thus, the embryonic gut of the bird is made capable of assuming its necessary functions of food digestion, nutrient absorption, water and ion re‐absorption, immune surveillance, antibody production and immune responses at hatch.

“…This means that the intestine's contents can move both in cranio-caudal and caudo-cranial directions (Lai & Duke, 1978;Duke, 1989). Antiperistaltic contractions are an essential adaptation for water conservation in the body (Dehkordi & Shakaram, 2017).…”

The influence of typological features of autonomous regulation on the dimensions, structure, and blood supply of the rectum in chickens has been studied. The experimental group consisted of clinically healthy adult chickens of the Isa-Brown breed, divided into two groups using electrocardiography and variation pulsometry methods: chickens with sympathetic-tonic regulation and chickens with sympathetic-normotonic regulation. In each group, the length and diameter of the rectum, the branching of its arterial vessels, and the microscopic structure of the intestinal wall were examined. The corresponding artery provides the blood supply to the rectum, the branching of which showed no significant differences between the poultry groups. The peculiarities of autonomous regulation significantly influence the morphological structure of the intestinal wall’s mucous and muscular membranes. The serous membrane does not respond to these features. Chickens with sympathetic-tonic regulation (ST chickens) are characterized by a greater thickness of all indicated membranes and, consequently, the entire intestinal wall. Chickens with sympathetic-normotonic regulation (ST-NT chickens) have a greater thickness only in the muscular plate of the mucous membrane and its longitudinal layer. Regarding the quantity of collagen and elastic fibers, ST chickens dominate the mucous membrane’s crypt area, while ST-NT chickens dominate the muscular membrane. However, the density of connective tissue fibers in the mucous membrane is much lower than in the muscular one. The quantity and distribution of plasma cells have similar patterns in both groups. Specific morphometric compensation between two functionally related indicators is also an important aspect. In this case, larger values of one indicator are combined with smaller values of another. For example, a smaller diameter of the rectum in ST chickens is associated with its greater length; a smaller number of goblet cells on one villus corresponds to a larger area of their secretory section; a larger area of the nerve node of the intramuscular nerve plexus is combined with a smaller number of these nodes per 1 cm² of the intestinal wall. Thus, the structure of the rectum in chickens, adapting to the corresponding type of autonomous regulation, maintains the balance at the level of individual membranes and the entire intestinal wall.

As a rule, researchers pay less attention to the features of the large intestine than to the small intestine. The purpose of the study was to determine the features of the microscopic structure of the rectum of ducks during the first year of the postnatal period of ontogenesis. For histological examinations, the material was selected from Ukrainian white-breasted ducks of 9 age groups: 1-, 3-, 7-, 14-, 21-day-old, 1-, 2-, 6-month-old and 1-year-old. Morphometric parameters of microstructures were set on cross sections of the midgut. The general change pattern in the morphometric parameters of the microstructures of the rectum of ducks was their increase, which was asynchronous and uneven. There was observed an active intestinal morphogenesis continued, as evidenced by the process of formation of villi and crypts in the group of 1-3-day-old ducks. The most intensive morphometric parameters of the rectum changed in the first month of the postnatal period of ontogenesis, during which – in the first week. In the first week, first and second month of life of ducks, the wall thickness of the rectum increased by 93.1, respectively; 199.5 and 20.4 %, the thickness of the mucous membrane – 81.0; 167.1 and 19.5 %, the thickness of the muscular membrane – by 126.1; 285.3 and 22.7 %, the height of the villi – by 113.2; 208.7 and 7.2 %, the width of the villi – by 84.7; 70.9 and 12.5 %, their surface area – by 293.8; 427.6 and 20.6 %, the depth of the crypt – by 85.1; 49.9 and 52.3 %, muscle plate thickness – by 254.0; 750.8 and 15.0 %. The most stable indicators of the rectum during the first year of the postnatal period of ontogenesis were the density of villi and crypts, the number of which after 7 days of age had no significant difference compared to that of a younger age. The indicates of adult birds morphometric parameters of the rectum of ducks corresponded at different ages: in 1-year-old – the thickness of the serous membrane and the density of villi; at 6 months – the diameter of the intestine, the surface area of the villi; at 2 months of age – the thickness of the wall and its mucous membrane, the width of the villi, the depth of the crypt; at 1 month – the thickness of the muscular membrane and plate, the height of the villi, the epithelium of the villi and crypt; at 3 days of age – the density of crypts; at 1 day of age – the width of the crypt.
