Abstract
A caecostomy technique (surgery for inserting tube into caeca) was developed to quantify urine backflow into the caeca. Two days post-surgery, caecostomised chickens were flushed with 20 ml of warm saline solution every other day for 10 days. After surgery birds temporarily lost appetite and activity, but they were restored gradually in a few days. The incision healed within 10 days post-surgery. Excreta were collected daily from caecal tubing and cloaca by surgical attachment of polyethylene collection vessels to the chickens. Post-mortem examinations ascertained that the caeca were intact around the Latex tubing.
