Histomorphology and histochemstry of rabbit intestine

Rabbits are herbivores animal species specifically consume large amounts of fibrous plant and have the ability to utilize such fibrous plant food. Considerable progress has been made over the last decade in the understanding of mechanisms responsible for the ontogenetic changes of mammalian intestine. This book predominantly focuses on the current knowledge about the development of rabbit intestine and overview of the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal mucosa during different postnatal ages. The largest part of the book is dedicated to the description of developmental patterns concerning morphological changes and functional maturation of rabbit intestine. Currently, there is few knowledge published on the histomorphological and immunohisto-chemical developmental changes exist during postnatal advanced period in the small intestine and colon of the different breed of rabbits. This book was conducted to give an idea about the character and range of changes occurred during different postnatal periods in the intestine to meet the increasing metabolic demands during postnatal development.
