Abstract
This study aimed to identify the swan goose proventriculus's gross morpological , histological and histochemical structure (Anser cygnoides ). Ten adult male birds were purchased from birders in the province of Al Diwaniyah, and all the birds weighed (5-6kg). After dissected birds digestive organs were removed outside of the celomic cavity and removed ingesta from the stomach. morphological parameters includes (length, width , volume and  weight).The morphological result reveled proventriculus of the goose was tubular in shape, with an internal surface of the proventriculus, and the gizzard was a muscular part connected with the small intestine by a slit-like ventriculo-duodenal opening, which was guarded by the small pyloric sphincter in addition to the pyloric valve the internal surface (mucous) The stomach of the goose is described histologically in the current study, we find four layers (mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa). There are three layers in the mucosa. The stomach's connective tissue also showed variations in collagen and elastic fiber distribution.
