Abstract:
The present study was carried out on six pair of White Leghorn (Gallus gallus domesticus) and Guinea Fowl (Numida meleagris) Birds. A variety of parameters of the digestive organ were estimated. The digestive system of White Leghorn and Guinea fowl birds started from their beaks then the tongue carried out the feed up to crop. The crop was an out-pocketing arrangement of the esophagus which stored swallowed feed and water until they are passed further for digestion. Proventriculus and ventriculus was collectively known as the stomach. The small intestine comprised the duodenum and lower small intestine. The caecae are two blind pouches located at the junction of small and large intestine. The large intestine was collectively shorter than the small intestine and continuous serve as a cloaca. Cloaca was the component of digestive system that located at its last terminal end which received the finishing litter of digestive, urinary and reproductive system. These three systems terminated at cloaca as the common merger chamber of thermoregulation has three different components as coprodeum, urodeum and proctodeum respectively.
