THE CORRECTION FACTOR OF HAIR DENSITY IN THE SKIN OF BUFFALO

THE CORRECTION FACTOR OF HAIR DENSITY IN THE SKIN OF BUFFALO

The hair density of the back region in water buffalo was calculated by counting the number of hair follicles in the horizontal sections prepared by conventional paraffin embedding method and stained with hematoxylin and eosin . The calculated hair density was 3.53 hair follicle/mm2 of the buffalo sk...

The calculated hair density was 3.53 hair follicle/mm2 of the buffalo skin. All the hair follicles were of primary type and distributed randomly.
