Histochemical study of prostate gland in uncastrated and castrated cattle

For the present study prostate gland were obtained from twenty eight bull of Deoni breed and other non-descript breeds. PAS reaction was intense, glycogen granules, acid and neutral mucopolysaccharides, amyloids, lipid granules were moderate, nuclei were reactive for feulgen reaction and alkaline phosphatae activity was mild in bull. However, neutral acid mucopolysaccharides at corpora amylacea were intense. Acid mucopolysaccharide was mild. Feulgen reaction was intense and the alkaline phosphatage activity was reduced in castrated male.
