Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the arterial blood supply of the intestinal tract of fowl. Ten apparently healthy chicken (Balady breed) of both sexes were used in the study. The specimens were injected with red colored latex through the descending aorta. The origin, branching pattern and distribution of the different arteries supplying the small and large intestines were documented. The intestinal tract of fowl received its arterial supply through four main sources namely; the right branch of the celiac artery, the cranial mesenteric, the caudal mesenteric and the internal iliac arteries. The right branch of the celiac artery was contributed to the duodenum, pancreas, last third of ileum and left cecum. The cranial mesenteric artery supplied the terminal portion of duodenum, jejunum, cranial two thirds of ileum, right cecum and cranial portion of colon. The caudal mesenteric artery supplied the rectum and the cranial portion of cloaca. The internal iliac artery supplied the caudal portion of cloaca and cloacal bursa
