Abstract

The umbilical cord of buffalo foetus was comprised of two umbilical arteries, two umbilical vein and urachus in the loose connective tissue fibres. The umbilical arteries were having star shaped lumen whereas; umbilical veins had oval/ elliptical lumen in all the age groups. The thickness of all the layers of arteries and veins increased with advancing age of fetus. The matrix of umbilical cord was composed mostly of stroma cells with few collagen fibres. The allantoic duct was present between the arteries and had a great number of small nourishing vessels.
