title: Endotracheal intubation and oral gavage in the domestic chicken.
abstract: The domestic chicken (Gallus gallus) is increasing in popularity as a laboratory animal, as it is useful in multiple fields of biomedical research and has the practical benefits of being relatively inexpensive, easy to handle and able to adapt to various settings. Here, we describe two procedures commonly used with chickens in research: endotracheal intubation and oral gavage.
