Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Blood supply to the uterovaginal sperm-host glands of native chicken was investigated in the present study using light microscopy (X40) during the period from January to June 2002. Samples were collected from the oviduct of deshi chicken and stained with H and E stain in Histology Laboratory of the Department of Anatomy and Histology, BAU, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Results of the present study revealed that the arterial and venous capillaries were present mainly in the submucosa, also in the core of the villi of the oviduct. However, the evidence for the blood supply of the sperm-host glands in the chicken's oviduct suggesting nutritional supplies to these glands as well as spermatozoa.

Keywords: Blood supply, Sperm-host gland, Native chicken

Location: Histology Laboratory of the Department of Anatomy and Histology, BAU, Mymensingh, Bangladesh.

Start Date: 00-01-2002

End Date: 00-06-2002

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Chicken

Objectives:

To demonstrate the blood supply to glands.

Methodology:

The experimental birds used were single comb native chickens (Gallus domesticus), purchased from the local market of Bangladesh Agricultural University campus having apparently good health and devoid of any external anatomical deformities. The birds were killed by cervical subluxation method. Immediately after killing, the abdominal and pelvic cavities were opened sufficiently to find out the oviduct. The oviducts of the birds were collected as soon as possible with the help of scalpel and scissors avoiding any destruction of the organ. Then the oviducts were placed on the tray straightly and samples were collected from infundibulum, uterovaginal junction and vagina with the help of sharp scalpel. The specimens then were collected and fixed in the Buin's solution. The tissues were then dehydrated in a series of graded ethanol, cleared in xylene, embedded in paraffin and finally the sections were cut at 6 µm in thickness using rotary microtome (Model 820, USA). The sections were then stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) stain. Detail histological study was completed using high power light microscopy (X40). Photographs were placed for better illustration of the result.
