The present study concludes that blood cells of Uttara fowl consisted of erythrocytes, granulocytes, agranulocytes and thrombocytes. Monocyte was the largest leucocyte and basophil was the largest granulocyte. Cytochemistry revealed presence of reticulocytes and siderocytes in the blood Uttara fowl. Scanning electron microscopic studies revealed erythrocytes, four types of leucocytes and thrombocytes with nodular shaped surface eminences in Uttara fowl. Transmission electron microscopic studies revealed presence of reticulocytes with mitochondria and polysomes within the cytoplasm. Granulocytes contained pleomorphic granules in the cytoplasm. Lymphocytes of three types were observed viz. small, medium and large. Monocytes were highly vacuolated with well-developed cell organelles. Thrombocytes had an area of ectoplasm containing free ribosomes and a few glycogen granules.
