Proventriculus was smaller than gizzard and it continued anteriorly without any distinct gross demarcation with esophagus. The outermost surface remained covered by a black coloured fascia. Its long axis was slopped from left to right of the median plane. Numerous grossly visible wide, round papillae were seen on the mucosal surface which gradually decreased from 0 day old bird to 112 days old bird. All the gross morphological parameters like length, diameter, thickness and cross sectional area showed progressive values with advancement of age.Read More
