Abstract: A scanning electron-microscopic observation on the normal microflora in the digestive tract (craw, ileum and caecum) of healthy and diseased chickens showed that in the digestive tract of healthy chicken,mucosa was integral, its surface was evenly covered with a lot of normal microflora, and the lactobacillus adhered on the surface of craw had the greatest density. In the digestive tract of chicken suffered from coccidiosis, the mucosa was shed, and the individuals of normal microflora decreased markedly, which could be the main reason of diarrhoea.
