Germ-free (GF) and conventional (CV) chicks were reared for 14 d on diets containing 50 (LD), 200 (AD) and 400 (HD) g protein/kg. Food and water were provided ad libitum. The size and weight of the proventriculus, gizzard, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caeca, colon, liver, pancreas, heart, spleen, adrenal glands and kidneys were measured, and liver composition was examined. The absolute and relative (weight/kg body-weight) weights of the intestine of CV chicks fed AD and HD diets were greater than those of GF chicks. The LD diet did not affect the absolute and relative weights of the duodenum and jejunum. The absolute weight, relative weight and fat content of the liver of GF chicks given LD diet were greater than those of their CV counterparts. The size and weight of some organs are affected by the diet (dietary protein content)-microflora-host interaction.
无菌（GF）和普通（CV）雏鸡在含有50（低蛋白，LD）、200（正常蛋白，AD）和400（高蛋白，HD）克蛋白质/千克的日粮上饲养14天。自由提供食物和水。测量了腺胃、肌胃、十二指肠、空肠、回肠、盲肠、结肠、肝脏、胰腺、心脏、脾脏、肾上腺和肾脏的大小和重量，并检查了肝脏成分。饲喂AD和HD日粮的CV雏鸡肠道的绝对重量和相对重量（重量/千克体重）大于GF雏鸡。LD日粮不影响十二指肠和空肠的绝对重量和相对重量。给予LD日粮的GF雏鸡肝脏的绝对重量、相对重量和脂肪含量大于其CV对应雏鸡。某些器官的大小和重量受日粮（日粮蛋白质含量）-微生物群-宿主相互作用的影响。
