Ten of clinically healthy sheep and goats of both sexes were collected by Al-Simawaabattoir, age ranged between 2 to 3 years, which was estimated according to the dental equationof the animals. The colon was cut and stained alternatively with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E)and (PAS).The epithelium was simple tall columnar epithelia that has goblet cells, these epithelia lining thefolds of mucosa .
