Abstract

Peyer's patches belong to peripheral organs of
immunogenesis. They are represented by gut associated lymphoid tissue.
Together with other immune formations of the digestive system (tonsils,
Meckel's diverticulum, apical diverticula), Peyer's patches provide protection of
animals organism from antigens that enter with food and water. In this context,
the localization of lymphoid tissue and its structure in the immune formations
of the intestinal wall of waterfowl requires a more detailed study. The goal of
the work was to study the peculiarities of localization of lymphoid tissue in the
Peyer's patch of the ileum of ducks.
Established, that three Peyer’s patches are defined in a jejunum of ducks.
Their form is the closed ring-shaped tapes which are located on perimeter in
intestine. Their length and width increase with the age of the birds. The maximum
values of the morphometric parameters (length, width) of the first Peyer's patch
and the length of the second and third reaches at 120-day-old birds, and the width
of the latter is greatest in 20-day birds. Lymphoid tissue in the Peyer's patches of
the jejunum appears from the one-day age of ducks. Its maximum development is
noted at the 150-day age of the bird (59.58 ± 0.66 %). The presence of all levels of
lymphoid tissue structural organization (diffuse lymphoid tissue, prenodules,
primary lymphoid nodules and secondary lymphoid nodules), indicates on its
morphofunctional maturity, that is, the ability to give a complete immune response
to the action of antigen. The complete morphofunctional maturity of the lymphoid
tissue of the Peyer's patches of jejunum is reached in the 15-day-age duck.
Keywords: ducks, intestine, small intestine, jejunum, Peyer’s
patches, lymphoid tissue, diffuse lymphoid tissue, prenodules, primary
lymphoid nodules, secondary lymphoid nodules
