[Considerations on the renal lobes in Gallus gallus, Indian River].
Textbooks and articles do not provide sufficient descriptions of the fowl kidney, mainly the renal lobes and their measurements. The observations of the renal lobes was carried out in 40 fowls (Gallus gallus), Indian River, 27 females and 13 males, with different ages (Grupe I: one month; Grupe II: 2 months and Grupe III: more than 3 months). We have observed that: a) there is a relative assymetry on the form and position of the renal lobes; b) the cranial lobe is the most large and the middle, the most long; and c) averages about the lobes, in relation to the both antimeres and length-width, are recorded.
