Conclusion
Our studies have shown that the barium sulphate solution,
that was administred using a oral sondage passes through the stomach very rapidly,
making this area unmarked from a radiologic point of view.
For the radiologic examination of the ingluvia,
the administration of the solution must be repeated,
which leads to the extention of the gizzard,
causing the emergence of two lateral equal and symmetrical compartments.
The crop area appears very well individualized.
The two cecums of the pigeon,
which are rudimentary can also be observed,
and they appear to have the shape of two tubercles.
Generally,
we can conclusion that the barium sulphate that was used in this radiologic examination of the digestive tractus of the pigeon has verified the permeability of the digestive tractus,
the shape and the volume of the digestive segments and has also helped the delimation of the intestine from other organs or formations.
(such as concretions or tumors).
