Abstract

The present study was conducted on omasum of 10 young sheep of local mixed breed. The omasum
presented omasal laminae which were categorized into I, II, III, IV and V on the basis of the length of the
laminae and were lined by stratified squamous keratinized epithelium. The lamina propria mucosae was large
having loose irregular connective tissue whereas, the lamina muscularis mucosae had longitudinally oriented
muscle bundles. These muscle bundles were separated from each other by a comparatively thick inner layer of
tunica muscularis in I, II and III laminae. The submucosa was very small having loose irregular connective
tissue. Outer longitudinal layer of tunica muscularis was comparatively thinner. Tunica serosa lined by flat cells
was comprised of loose irregular connective tissue.
