The lymphoid tissue in jejunal Peyer’s patches (JPP) in goats was studied in six apparently healthy male goats of six months of age. It was observed that in the JPP submucosal lymphoid nodules were seen with a corona and subepithelial dome region over it, an internodular region and the overlying follicle associated epithelium. The number of lymphoid nodules counted per field under low power magnification of microscope was 2.17 ± 0.17. The average diameter of the lymphoid nodules was 845.67 ± 1.61µm and the lymphocyte count in it was 28358.33 ± 119.32. Height of the dome of each lymphoid nodule measured 143.83 ± 1.3µm and the FAE covering it was 32.41 ± 48.92µm long at six months of age in goats. It was concluded that the lymphoid nodules in jejunal Peyer’s patches remained active and continued to produce lymphocytes suggesting that it was a secondary lymphoid organ in contrast to the ileal Peyer’s patches which are primary lymphoid organs.
