The current study was conducted in the laboratories of the College of Agriculture and Animal House of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Tikrit University for the period from 5/5/2020 to 29/10/2020. And it aimed to produce therapeutic food mixtures to treat people with malnutrition and to know their impact on the health of the small intestine and large intestine. Where three ready-to-use therapeutic food mixtures have been prepared (do not need to be prepared or cooked before eating) consisting of milk, sprouted oats, non-sprouted oats, Sesame, Rice, chickpeas, Dates, bananas, apples, potatoes and oil, provided that the moisture and fat content does not exceed 2.5% and 32%, the percentage of protein and carbohydrates is not less than 14% and 40% respectively, and they were given to Thirty healthy rats and divided into six groups equally, a control group (+) natural, control group (-) (malnourished for a period of time 48 days), 1st, 2nd, 3d and 4th. The studied groups were affected with malnutrition for a period of 24 days, then the first food mixture was given to the 1st, the second food mixture for the 2nd, the third food mixture for 3d, the standard food mixture F-100 for the 4th. After 24 days of consuming the prepared nutritional mixtures, the tissues of the small and large intestine were examined under a microscope. The histological analysis of the small intestine showed that the 1st and the 2nd gave completely healthy tissues to the small intestine similar to the control group (+) and the 4th, while the 3d showed congestion in the blood vessels with hyperplasia of intestinal epithelial cells compared to the control group (-) which showed High-intensity cellular degeneration in the lining cells of the intestine with chronic and acute inflammations. As for the large intestine, the 1st gave a complete recovery of colon tissue, similar to the control group (+) and the 4th, while the 2nd and 3d showed pathological changes that included infiltration and local grouping of inflammatory cells in the submucosal layer of the colon and flattening of the villi and their union with acute inflammation compared to a control group (- ), Which showed pathological changes represented by infiltration of inflammatory cells with an overgrowth of mesenteric lymph tissue and multiple lymph sacs. It was found that the first nutritional mixture prepared on which the 1st of rats fed give similar results to the results of the control group (+) and the 4th
