Abstract The aim of the current study was to determine possible interaction of central oxytocin and opioidergic system on food intake regulation in neonatal layer-type chicken. In experiment 1, FD3 chicken ICV injected with control solution, oxytocin (10 µg), β-FNA (µ receptor antagonist, 5 µg) and oxytocin (10 µg) + β-FNA were injected. Experiments 2–6 were similar to experiments 1, except chicken injected with nor-BNI (κ receptor antagonist, 5 µg), NTI (δ receptor antagonist, 5 µg), DAMGO (µ receptor agonist, 62.25 pmol), U-50488H (κ receptor agonist, 10 nmol), DPDPE (δ receptor agonist, 20 pmol) instead of β-FNA. In experiment 7, control solution, DAMGO (125 pmol), d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)-[Orn8]-vasotocin (oxytocin antagonist, 5 µg) and DAMGO + d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)-[Orn8]-vasotocin were ICV injected to FD3 chicken. Experiments 8 and 9 were similar to experiments 7, except chicken injected with U-50488H (30 nmol) and DPDPE (40 pmol) instead of DAMGO. Then, cumulative food intake was recorded at 30, 60 and 120 min after injection. According to the results, ICV injection of the oxytocin (10 µg) significantly decreased food intake compared to control group (P
