Abstract

The present study was conducted on different segments of oviduct of ten adult Jaffarabadi buffaloes during luteal phase of estrous cycle. Scanning electron microscopic observations revealed that the mucosa of oviduct characterized by
the presence of longitudinal folds possessed primary and secondary branching. The mucosal folds were lined by ciliated and non-ciliated secretory cells. The ciliated cells possessed tufts of cilia. During the luteal phase, secretory cells were more and
ciliated cells were less in the epithelium of infundibulum and ampulla. The apical surface of the secretory cells appeared extended due to different sized bulbous processes. The surface of the secretory cells as well as ciliated cells possessed short
and blunt microvilli. The isthmus showed less difference in ciliation during different phases of oestrous cycle.
