Abstract:

The research work was carried out to elucidate the comparative histomorphology of the oviduct of three lines of chicken like, sonali, deshi and hyline chicken aged between 8 to 10 months. After dissection, histological sections were prepared from different segments of oviduct using Hematoxyline and Eosin (H&E). Oviductal histology varied in regards to the mucosal folding, lining epithelium, and distribution of glands and connective tissues arrangement. Among the sonali, deshi and hyline chickens mucosal folds were taller in hyline chicken in the first three oviductal segments, but the mucosal folds of the last two segments were taller in deshi chicken, where in sonali chicken the mucosal folds were comparatively shorter. The mean height of mucosal folds of oviductal segments, infundibulum (1495.8±320.32 µm, 1916.7±341.57 µm and 2291.7±430.60 µm), magnum (283.33±51.64 µm, 566.7±132.92 µm and 775.00±223.05 µm), isthmus (1387.5±602.86 µm, 1566.7±182.80 µm and 1862.5±361.16 µm), uterus (1458.3±66.46 µm, 1716.7±143.76 µm and 1416.7±408.25 µm) and vagina (1145.8±94.10 µm, 1645.8±94.10 µm and 1541.7±204.12 µm) in sonali, deshi and hyline chicken, respectively. In all three types of studied birds, the lining epithelium of infundibulum was ciliated columnar epithelium, and in the other segments the epithelium was pseudostratified ciliated columnar. The populations of submucosal glands were higher in the magnum than other segments and comparatively more in amount in hyline chicken. The distributions of sperm host glands were noted in the lamina propria of the vagina. Different lines of chicken showed differences in the oviductal histoarchitecture and can be important indicators in reproduction.
