The thoracic lobe was oval in crossbreds and heart shaped in indigenous. The quantitative parameters showed higher averages in the lett side than that in the right. Highly significant differences (P&lt0.01) were observed among age groups in respect to length, width, thickness, volume, organ weight and relative weight.
