Histological study of the abomasum's lymphatic nodules in fetus of one-humped camel (camelus dromedarius)

For the study of histogenesis of the abomasum’s lymphatic nodules in one-humped camel, 33 fetuses were studied. The fetuses were selected from 2 to 13 months age and in each month, 3 fetuses. After determining the fetuses age with C-RL (Crown-Rump Length) criterion, they were sent in 10% formalin to histological laboratory. After dissecting the abomasums, with use of routine methods, were performed serial section of them. The results of the microscopic sections indicate that the lymphatic nodules in abomasum’s tissue of camel’s fetus were formed at 160 days of gestation (CRl = 30cm) in lamina propria of cardia mucosa in abomasums that with increasing fetuses age, the lymphatic nodules were developed, too. These nodules weren’t reported in typical ruminants (ox, sheep and goat).
