Abstract

Present study was conducted to explore the histomorphometry of mammary gland in Barbari goat in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The investigation was carried out for the various components of the 24 mammary glands of barbari goat. Microscopic images were captured using the Lieca microscope (CH9345 Heerbrugg). The average diameter of alveoli in Barbari goat ranged from 22.10 to 37.15 µm. The average of it was 30.34 ± 0.91. The diameter of lobules in Barbari goats ranged from 0.10 to 0.71 mm and the average of it was 0.29 ± 0.04 mm. The number of alveoli per lobule/1 cm² in Barbari goat ranged from 526 to 860 and the average of it was 658.70 ± 18.39 per lobule/cm. The height of alveolar epithelium (µm) in Barbari goat ranged from 3.02 to 10.60 µm and the average of it was 6.58 ± 0.42. The width of alveolar epithelium (µm) in Barbari goat ranged from 4.08 to 12.12 µm and the average of it was 8.16 ± 0.51 µm. The diameter of alveolar epithelium in Barbari goat ranged from 0.24 to 0.62 µm and the average of it was 0.48 ± 0.03 µm. The diameter of inter-lobular duct in Barbari goat ranged from 58 to 86 µm and the average of it was 72 ± 1.85 µm. The diameter of intra-lobular duct in Barbari goat ranged from 32 to 62 µm and the average of it was 44.70 ± 2.15 µm respectively.

Conclusion

Significant differences were observed in diameter of alveoli, diameter of lobule, number of alveoli per lobule, diameter of alveolar, height of alveolar epithelium, width of alveolar epithelium, diameter of nuclei, diameter of inter-lobular duct and diameter of intra-lobular duct. The average values of diameter of these parameters showed significant difference between lactating and non-lactating stages.
