A study was conducted on jejunum of CARI Shyama and Vanaraja crossbreds of poultry developed to improve the livelihood of peoples in the tribal area with less availability of good quality feed. Jejunum is the part of intestine plays significant role in absorption of nutrients and improves the feed utilization. Grossly, length of jejunum was significantly more in chicks and pullets of Vanaraja, however, width was more in chicks and pullets of CARI Shyama. Histologically, height of villi decreased progressively from proximal to distal segment of jejunum. Height of villi was significantly more in pullets of CARI Shyama than Vanaraja. Density of collagen fibers was more in pullets of Vanaraja than CARI Shyama. PAS activity was comparatively more in all age group of CARI Shyama than Vanaraja.
