This review summarizes the avian thyroid gland's structure, function, and diseases in chickens. It highlights existing research gaps, particularly in understanding thyroidal functions and pathologies.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Avian Biology

Background:

  • Extensive research exists on avian thyroid gland function, especially in chickens.
  • Information on avian thyroid diseases is primarily available through case reports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the structure and function of the avian thyroid gland.
  • To discuss diseases affecting the avian thyroid gland.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research on avian thyroid glands.
  • Synthesis of information on thyroid structure, function, and diseases.

Main Results:

  • The avian thyroid gland plays a crucial role in metabolism and growth.
  • Thyroidal pathologies in birds can manifest in various ways, often requiring specific diagnostic approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complexities of avian thyroidal function and disease.
  • A comprehensive understanding of avian thyroid gland diseases requires more than just case reports.
