The present investigation was conducted to explore the histo-architectural study of both the gravid and non-gravid oviducts of garole sheep. No line of demarcation between lamina propria and tunica submocosa because of the absence of lamina muscularis. Lamina epithelialis was composed of pseudostratified columnar epithelium with stereocilia on maximum cells. The epithelial height was more in gravid oviduct. The height and branching of the longitudinal folds of tunica mucosa were more in gravid oviduct. The elastic fibers were found mainly in the wall of blood vessels. Comparatively the average diameter of glandular epithelium was maximum in gravid oviduct. In both the groups the apical borders of lining epithelium showed strong PAS positive reaction. There was no longitudinal muscular layer in tunica muscularis and the collagen fibers were interspersed within the circular muscles layers. A very less amount of mucopolysaccharides were present in both the tunica muscularis and tunica serosa layers.
