Ovaries and oviducts of 12 non pregnant female camels and 5 non pregnant Holstein cows from the industrial slaughter house of Mashhad were examined. Sections (6 µm) were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H E), Periodic Acid Shif (PAS), Alcian blue (Ab), Van gisson (Vg), Verhof (V) and Masson's trichorome (Mt). The ovary of camel is fattened, lobulated measuring 3.54± 0.98 cm in length (mean ± SEM), 2.58± 0.57 cm in width and 7.66± 0.69 cm in thickness. Cortex of the she camel's ovary has many follicles in various stages of development, ranges between 40 ± 7.7 µm and 7.6 mm. Primordial follicle of camel was signifcantly (p0.001) bigger (40.5± 7.33µm) than the primordial follicle of cow (34.7± 8.4 µm). Histological structure of oviduct in camel was similar to cow. The secretion of epithelial cell of the oviduct in the camel was neutral mucopolysaccharides but in cow it was acidic mucopolysaccharides. Isthmus of camel was signifcantly thicker (850.2±252 µm) than the isthmus of cow (717.2±352 µm).
