Heterophils are the most important leukocytes in phagocytosis in birds. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (heterophils) are a type of polymorphonuclear leukocyte. They're a part of the body's natural defence mechanism. When hens come into contact with diseases, they have a primary response. Heterophils are mammalian counterparts to neutrophils; like neutrophils, they respond swiftly to infections and become activated quickly, thanks to chemotaxis. Bacteria, their proteins, and their structures are detected by Toll Like Receptors (TLRs), which are specialised receptors found in immune cells. They contain antibacterial chemicals that are released when germs come into contact with them. Their roles are determined by genetics. They are phagocytic, and their antimicrobial activity may be measured in a variety of methods.
