Abstract : In this article, we study a reaction-diffusion system with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, which describing a three-species food chain model. Under some conditions, the predator-prey subsystem ($u_{1}\equiv0 $) has a unique positive solution $\left( \overline{u_{2}},\overline{u_{3}} \right).$ By using the birth rate of the prey $r_{1}$ as a bifurcation parameter, a connected set of positive solutions of our system bifurcating from semi-trivial solution set $\left( r_{1},\left( 0,\overline{ u_{2}},\overline{u_{3}}\right) \right) $ is obtained. Results are obtained by the use of degree theory in cones and sub and super solution techniques.
