Abstract

The postnatal changes were studied in the vesicular glands in 17 buffaloes aged 6 months, 1 to 1.5 years. 2 to 2.5 years
and > 3.5 years with 5, 4, 4 and 4 animals in each group respectively. The histochemical investigations revealed that
glycogen was found in the glandular cells only in 6 month-old buffalo calves. The glandular cells in older animals were
positive for periodic acid Sch iff's and alcian blue reactions. The cytoplasm of glandular epithelia and secretory material in the lumina showed stronger mercuric bromophenol blue reactions for proteins in adults. Sudanophilic lipids increased
with age.
