Given adequate chemotactic or other directional information, it is not impossible to imagine them making their way into the caeca by their own efforts.
None was attached to the intestinal wall and none was found in the pyloric caeca.
Two nematode species were recovered from both the gizzard and caeca, and a single nematode species from the proventriculus and crop, respectively.
The stomach, pyloric caeca and intestine were separated and opened longitudinally.
The caeca are blind parts of the intestine with no continuous through-flow of gut contents.
The caeca seem to be periodic in their filling and emptying activities.
Some of the intestines and pyloric caeca were processed for histology.
The strain used colonized caeca and internal organs of chickens to a high extent 1 week after infection with a low-dose inoculum.
