Abstract

Light microscopic studies were performed on the Peyer’s patches of neonatal three and 12 months old goats. Neonatal kids had mature lymphoid follicles but with immature intervening villi epithelium.  The  jejunal,  jejuno-ileal  and  colic  Peyer’s patches (JPP,  JIPP  and  CPP, respectively) differed  in  their follicular histology and life history. The JIPP showed some properties of a primary lymphoid organ
