Biometrical Studies of Testes and Accessory Sex Glands in Bucks¹

The studies of testes and accessory sex glands were carried out. Testes, seminal vesicles and bulbourethral glands are two in number while one prostate gland was studied. The bucks for present work were used from local slaughter house and livestock farm of College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Parbhani. The animals were divided into three groups viz., pre pubertal, pubertal and post pubertal. The disected organs were studied for length, width, thickness and weight. The significance of observations was tested as per procedure given by Panse and Sukhatme (1967). The left testis was slight elongated than the right however, the right seminal vesicle was larger than the left. The biometrical observations of prostate gland was not possible since the corpus prostate is absent in buck while pars disseminata was embedded in musculature of middle part of pelvic urethra.
