Single fluff-spray application of mother hen uropygial secretion analogue positively influences bursa of Fabricius development and the heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in ROSS 308 chicks [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2020 Stress is an important cause of illness and mortality in chick production. Stressors such as manipulation, absence of maternal care, transport, and housing can lead to welfare issues, immunodepression, and decreased productivity. The mother hen uropygial

The Bursa of Fabricius and Antibody Production
Poultry Science, 1956 The bursa of Fabricius is a structure peculiar to Aves. It is a blind sac connected by a small duct to the dorsal part of the cloaca. Often nicknamed “the cloacal thymus,” the function of the bursa is believed to be similar to that of the thymus (Riddle,

Influence of Citrus sinensis Seeds on the Growth Performance, Ceca Bacterial Population and the Immune System Response of Broiler Chickens [PDF]
Vet Med SciCitrus sinensis seed powder at 0.5% in broiler diets optimized caecal bacterial populations, while 4% supplementation increased IgG levels compared to antibiotic use. These findings suggest potential benefits of orange seeds as a phytogenic feed additive, despite the need for further studies on their bioactive compounds and mechanisms.

The origin of IgG-containing cells in the bursa of Fabricius
Cell and Tissue Research, 2012 The bursa of Fabricius of the chicken is known as a primary lymphoid organ for B-cell development. Morphologically, the origin of IgG-containing cells in the bursa has not been clear until now, because abundant maternal IgG (MIgG) is transported to the chick embryo and distributed to the bursal tissue around hatching.
