Carbon accumulation in mesenteric membranes of domestic ducks

Abstract EN

The aim of this work is to detect accumulation of carbon particles (soot) in the most mesenteric membranes of peritoneal cavity in domestic ducks which raised in polluted area and compared with other birds in healthy area.

The grossly examination of the peritoneal cavity for birds which affected by pollution are showing the pools of carbon particles in the left retrohepatic mesenteric membrane around the gizzard and the left superior hepatic mesenteric membrane.

The abundantly scattered of carbon blots through the mesenteric membranes between parts of small and large intestine and diffused throughout of the mesenteric membranes which surrounded the urogenital organs.

Contrariwise, there are no gross lesion present in any mesenteric tissues of birds which gathered from healthy fields.
