CARI Shyama and Vanaraja are colored hybrid breeds of poultry introduced for low cost production than desi breeds in the tribal area of India. Pancreas is an important accessory gland of the digestive system. The exocrine secretion of pancreas improves the feed efficiency so helps in increased production. The tissue samples were collected from birds of three different age groups of Vanaraja and CARI Shyama breeds of poultry, processed, sectioned and stained for normal gross, histological and histochemical studies. Grossly, weight and length of pancreas increased from 1st to 3rd age group in both the breeds. Histologically, gland was composed of capsule and parenchyma. Lymphoid aggregation was also noticed in 8 weeks old birds of both breeds but organization and occurrence were variable as per breed. The distribution of connective tissue fibres, PAS positive substances and AB-PAS positive substance was also studied.
