This work was carried out on epididymis of 54 apparently healthy male guinea fowl (Pearl variety) at different age groups from day old, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks at monthly intervals. The epididymis was spindle shaped with white to creamy white in colour. It was clearly visible and detachable from 12 weeks of age. The epididymis was cranially in relation with adrenal glands, medially with aorta and posterior venacava and other structures passing through median line, laterally with respective testis and caudally continued as ductus deferens. The morphometrical studies revealed that there was continuous gradual increase in weight of right and left epididymis from 12 to 28 weeks of age but significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) was observed from 20 to 28 weeks of age. The length of epididymis increased gradually from 12 to 28 weeks of age but significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) was observed from 16 to 28 weeks. The width of right and left epididymis increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) from 12 to 28 weeks of age. The average volume of guinea fowl epididymis increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) from 12 to 28 weeks of age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
