Macromorphology of the thymus gland of turkeys

The study of the central organs of immunogenesis has scientific and theoretical significance, as it reveals the mechanisms of participation of these organs in the immunobiological reactions of the body. The article presents a description of the macromorphology of the thymus of turkeys of the White broad-chested cross-country breed "Universal". We studied the topography of the thymus gland, its average absolute mass, average relative mass and linear indicators in the age aspect, starting from the age of one week to 23 weeks of life.
