Abstract:
The present study was conducted on 8-10 white leghorn chicken. The tissues were collected from the recently died birds from both genders. The tissues for histological and histochemical studies were collected from the proventriculus and gizzard. The lining epithelium, lamina propria, lamina muscularis of proventriculus and gizzard showed moderate positive reaction for carbohydrates in PAS stain. After treatment with the saliva, lining epithelium, lamina propria and tunica muscularis layer showed negative reaction for carbohydrates in PAS stain. Mucosubstances showed strong positive reactions in lamina propria, lamina muscularis and in submucosa.
