The venous drainage of the intestinal tract were done by the ordinary routine methods as well as the cast preparation. The venous blood of the intestinal tract is mainly achieved by the V. Portae through its peripheral tributaries. In addition to the caudal rectal of the internal iliac vein. A comprehensive description of the origin, course and distribution of the veins of the intestinal tract were studies. The results obtained were discussed with those of other authors in the horse and other domestic animals.
