What is the function of the pancreas in a chicken?

Answer 1

The pancreas of a chicken lies within the duodenal loop. It has two purposes. [1] it excretes digestive enzymes directly into the duodenum (first section of small intestine), and [2] it secretes endocrine hormones into the blood which monitor the levels of nutrients absorbed during digestion.

Answer 2

Birds have a two part stomach, a glandular portion known as the proventriculus and just below that a muscular portion known as the gizzard . Hydrochloric acid, mucus and a digestive enzyme called pepsin, are secreted by specialized cells in the proventriculus and start the process of breaking down the structure of the food material the bird has eaten. The food then passes to the second part of the stomach, the gizzard. The gizzard performs the same function as mammalian teeth, grinding and disassembling the food, making it easier for the digestive enzymes to break down the food. In most birds the gizzard contains sand grains or small rocks to aid the grinding process. You might look at the proventriculus of a bird the same as our mouth, the beginning of the digestive system since the bird swallows its food without masticating.
