Histomorphologic study on sweat gland of skin in Deccani sheep

In Group-I (0–3 m) the sweat glands were deeply located in dermis. The secretory were lined by cuboidal cells. The long excretory duct opened into the neck of the wool follicle above the opening of sebaceous gland. Type I glands showed secretory cells with simple low cubodial epithelium. Type II sweat glands presented secretory cells of high cuboidal type. The histoarchitecture and type of sweat glands in group II, group III and group IV were similar as that of group I.
