The morphological construction of the liver beside hens (review)
Abstract
The analysis of the literature of our country and of foreign literature shows that the information about the poultry's lever morphology is little, of uncoordinated and fragmentary character and sometimes even conflicting. The morphogenesis of poultry's lever in the most critical periods and phases of the postnatal ontogenesis is not fully revealed. The peculiarities of lever structure and development depending on the intensity of raising and fattening of poultry are little-studied and need further inquiry.
