Average velocity, frequency, and amplitude of cecal contractions as measured in the paired ceca (ceca 1 and ceca 2) in laying hens in an organ bath when perfused with baseline Krebs solution.
| Ceca 1 | Ceca 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Velocity (cm/s) | 0.21 ± 0.04 | 0.28 ± 0.04 |
| Frequency (Hz) | 0.06 ± 0.008 | 0.06 ± 0.008 |
| Amplitude (cm) | 0.05 ± 0.009 | 0.05 ± 0.008 |
A total of 16 birds had two viable ceca that could be included in this comparison.
