Abstract :Objective: Present experiment was undertaken to find out the postnatal development insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(gross); of the duodenum in broiler chicken with regard to their location, shape, size and weight. Materials and Methods: A group of five chickens, each at day 1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D1);, day 7 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D7);, day 12 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D12);, day 24 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D24); and day 34 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(D34);, total 5, were killed and their digestive tracts were dissected. After that, samples of duodenum were prepared and the length, width and muscle diameter of duodenum of different ages were recorded. Results: The average length of duodenum were significantly higher in broilers at day 34insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(30.55cm); than that at day 24insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(28.12cm);, day 12insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(19.50cm);, day 7insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.25cm); and day 1insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.95cm);. On the other hand, the width were significantly higher in broilers at day 34insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.1mm); than that at day 24insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.25mm);, day 12insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.70mm);, day 7insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.35mm); and day 1insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.75mm);. In diameter of the muscle of duodenum also maintain this order. Conclusion: Hence, it can be concluded that, length, width and muscle diameter of duodenum might be increased with the age of broiler.
