The paper presents results of a microscopic study of the wall of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine and their lymphoid tissue in birds of the blackbird species. The material was selected from 10 adult blackbirds. It was embedded into paraffin according to the conventional method. The results of the study revealed that the general structure of the tunics of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine in the blackbird is similar to other birds, but exhibits certain characteristics. In the mucosa and submucosa of these organs, lymphoid tissue is noted, which is represented by different levels of structural organization. "Lymphocyte tracks" in the form of small diffuse lymphoid tissue cords are observed in the esophagus. Small accumulations of diffuse lymphoid tissue are also found in the muscular stomach. Solitary lymphoid nodules in the glandular stomach were found not only in the mucosa but also in the subserosa of the serosa. The largest accumulations of lymphoid tissue are observed in the esophageal and cecal tonsils and aggregated lymphoid nodules of the intestines, which are areas of significant penetration of antigens into the body of birds. In the places where they are located, infiltration of surface epithelium and crypts by lymphoid cells is observed. The smallest area of these immunocompetent structures is occupied by diffuse lymphoid tissue and much larger -by lymphoid nodules. The results of the research allowed to assess the morphofunctional status of lymphoid formations in the organs of the digestive canal of the blackbird and, accordingly, to determine the state of their immune system.

It is known that in the immune formations of the digestive canal of birds, which belong to the peripheral organs of hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis, differentiation of T- and B-lymphocytes occurs under the influence of antigens that cause the development of specific (cellular and humoral) immunity. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to identify the features of the morphology of the digestive canal organs and their immune formations in ducks of the hybrid meat breed “Mulard” aged 150 days during puberty. During histological studies, pieces from different areas (oesophagus, parts of the stomach, intestines with Peyer’s spots, Meckel’s diverticula, and caecum diverticula) were selected, labelled, and fixed in a 10% aqueous solution of neutral formalin and poured into paraffin, according to the generally accepted method. Histological preparations were used to examine the features of the microscopic structure of the digestive canal organs and their immune formations and histotopography, the types of forms of lymphoid tissue were analysed, its area was calculated. It was established that the immune formations of the digestive canal organs of ducks are represented by all levels of structural organisation of lymphoid tissue, which are not equally expressed in certain parts of them. Accumulations of immune formations in the walls of the oesophagus and stomach are located in lamina propria plate of the mucous membrane and submucosal base, and in the intestines – also in the muscle membrane. Lymphoid tissue is best developed in the oesophagal tonsil, caecum diverticula, slightly less in the Meckel diverticula and Peyer’s spots of the intestine. In the wall of the oesophagus and stomach of ducks, only minor accumulations of this tissue are observed. The results obtained on the morphofunctional state of peripheral organs of hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis allow improving technologies for raising and exploiting birds to ensure their high viability and productivity
