Astudy was undertaken to assess the morphometric analysis of goat foetal stomach. For this study36 embryos/foeti were divided into three groups viz., Gr-I (0–50 days ofgestation), Gr-II (51–100 days of gestation) and Gr-III (101 days of gestation to till term) having 12 embryos/foeti in each group. The biometric measurements of stomach increased significantly (P<0.01) with the advancement of age. In the early stage of gestation (Gr-I), the growth of abomasum was fastest, followed by rumen, reticulum and omasum. In Gr-II, growth of abomasum and rumen were at a par and while in Gr-III growth of abomasum was fastest followed by rumen, reticulum and omasum. At term, abomasum was the largest and omasum was the smallest compartment. The wall of omasum was the thickest among all the compartments.
