Cytopathological investigations were conducted on the bronchoalveolar lavage and impression smears collected from the slaughtered sheep showing pneumonic lesions at Deonar abattoir, Mumbai, Maharashtra. Using a standard protocol, the systematic random sampling method was used to note the gross lung lesions and collect bronchoalveolar lavage, impression smears, and representative tissue samples for histopathology. Different cytological values of BALF and impression smears of lung tissues found positive for ovine pulmonary adenomatosis by histopathological findings were compared with bronchopneumonia, bronchointerstitial pneumonia, and interstitial pneumonia. The recovery percentage (44.6%) and total cell count (30.76±2.49cells/?l) of BALF in OPA cases were high compared to other pneumonia cases. The plasma cell counts of BALF (20.00±5.63) and lung impression smear (14.20±2.70) in the OPA- positive cases was significantly higher than the other forms of pneumonia. The different cytological values of the pneumonic sheep lungs with particular reference to the ovine pulmonary adenomatosis were placed for the record
