Abstract: The present comparative study was conducted to evaluate the urinary system of Aseel and Rhode Island Red (RIR) breeds of poultry and experiments was done on 24 apparently healthy birds of Aseel and RIR breeds of poultry which were divided into grower and adult groups. Each kidney was divided into cranial, middle and caudal divisions by the grooves present on the ventral surface. In RIR grower as well as in adults, weight, volume and maximum width of kidney to body weight was more in RIR grower than Aseel. While, in adult birds it was more in Aseel than RIR. The ureter had two parts, renal and pelvic. Highly significant difference was observed in the weight, length and volume of both the ureters of an RIR grower than Aseel.
