Histomorphological studies of the accessory adrenal nodules in prenatal goats

A study was conducted on 24 embryos/foeti of nondescript goats (Capra hircus) varying from day-old to 150 days of gestation. The embryos/foeti were assigned into three groups according to their gestational ages as, Gr- 1 (050 days), Gr-2(51–100 days) and Gr-3 (101- till term). The extra capsular accessory adrenal nodules were observed at 55, 60 and 76 days of gestation in Gr-1 while intra capsular accessory adrenal nodules were observed at 55, 60 and 91 days in Gr-II.
