Microscopic picture of the vesicular glands in young boars with respect to feeding level.
On 27 German Landrace boars studies were conducted to describe the effect of feeding level during the growth period on the microscopic picture of vesicular glands in boars at 5, 6 and 7 months of age. Investigations have shown that differentiation of feeding level during the growth period affected the development of internal structures of the parenchyma in the boars' vesicular glands. The size of the tubules, their number within the field of vision and height of glandular epithelium lining the tubules were the highest in the group of animals fed at increased level.
