Abstract
Aim:
The present study was aimed to elucidate the histomorphology of
ileal and jejunal Peyer’s patches in the small intestine of
buffalo calves and their structural comparison.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on
neonatal (n=10) and pre-pubertal (n=10) buffalo calves. The age
of the postnatal buffalo calves was estimated by their temporary
and permanent dentition.
Results: The study revealed that several layers of oval
to elongate elliptical lymphoid follicles were observed in
submucosa on the anti-mesenteric side in the ileum of early
neonatal calves. However, the follicles at this age, in jejunum
were of all shapes present within one layer. The interfollicular
space was occupied by the interfollicular tissue, which was
diffuse and wider around jejunal lymphoid follicles as compared
to ileal lymphoid follicles. However, toward the pubertal stage,
the number of layers of lymphoid follicles was reduced in ileum
due to involution while it remained similar in number in jejunum
at this stage.
Conclusion: The ileal Peyer’s patches were found to have
started involution more or less around reaching puberty, whereas
the jejunal Peyer’s patches appear to be functional throughout
the lifespan of the animal.
Keywords: histomorphology, ileum, jejunum, lymphoid
follicle, Peyer’s patch.
