Abstract

The postnatal changes in the sweat glands of the Patanwadi and Marwari sheep were investigated. The biopsies were collected at birth, 1,2,3 and 4 weeks as well as 1½, 2,2½,3,4,6.9 and 12 months of age, from right and left midside region alternately of the same animals. The density of sweat gland decreased with increase in age. The desity was more in patawadi than that in Marwari. The sweat gland length, volume and depth were less at birth and more at 9 months. but were nonsignificantly less at 1 year than those observed at 9 months. All the characteristics studied showed higher value in Marwari as compared to Patanwadi. The sweat glands were long tubular with wide diameter in both the breeds. The sweat gland shape did not show significant age or breed differences.
