Abstract: The present investigation was aimed to reduce the histomorphological and histochemical changes in infundibulum of oviduct of jharsim and Dashlem Red hens. The lamina epithelium of infundibulum in both jharsim and Dahlem red hens were lined by simple columnar cells along with few goblet cells. The mucosal folds of funnel part were branched up to secondary only, whereas in tubular part the mucosal folds were long which had tertiary branches also. The mucosal folds were better developed and larger in Dahlem Red birds. The tubular glands were not visible in funnel part of infundibulum in both jharsim and Dahlem Red hens. The lamina propria and submucosa were intermingled in both jharsim and Dahlem Red hens. The tunica muscularis in Dahlem Red hens showed a slight decrease in thickness and consistency of the muscle fibres as compared to the jharsim birds. In Jhareeem birds the epithelium of infundibulum showed strong positive reaction for alcian blue, moderate for PAS and weak reaction for bromophenol blue as well as alizarin red. However, in Dahlem Red hen’s lamina epithelialis of infundibulum showed strong positive reaction for PAS and alcian blue, moderate for bromophenol blue and weak for alizarin red. The number of tubular glands per mm square area per cross section were comparatively more in jharsim hens (545.33 ± 2.45) than that of Dahlem Red hens (532.33 ± 1.81). Significantly highest number of mucosal folds were recorded in tubular part of infundibulum and lower number of mucosal folds were seen in funnel part of infundibulum in both jharsim and Dahlem red birds. 't' test of significance was done to see the difference in number of mucosal folds per cross section in the same segment of jharsim and Dahlem Red hens. Significantly higher number of mucosal folds in jharsim hens in comparison to Dahlem Red hens.
