Abstract
The study of the anatomical features of the oral apparatus of fur-bearing animals, as one of the promising branches of agriculture, contributes to improving the conditions of their captivity and improving the quality of furs. 10 preparations of salivary glands of physiologically mature black Pushkin sables were studied. The aim of the work is to study the features of the histological structure of the salivary glands of the black Pushkin sable and to determine the morphometric parameters of these organs. Samples of the mandibular, parotid, and sublingual salivary glands were subjected to histological examination. The material was fixed in a 10% solution of neutral formalin for 24 hours, after which it was poured into paraffin according to the generally accepted method. Then sections 5-7 microns thick were made, which were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, picrofuxin according to Van Gieson and trichrome according to Masson in order to identify collagen fibers. Some of the sections were stained with Alcian blue (pH 2.5), followed by additional staining with Mayer's hematoxylin. Histological preparations were analyzed using a Carl Zeiss AxioSkop 2 plus light-optical microscope (Germany) at magnifications of 40, 100, 200 and 400. Microphotography was performed using an AxioCam ERc5s digital camera and AxioVision Rel software. 4.8 (Germany). Morphometric measurements were performed manually using the AxioVision Rel software. 4.8. All anatomical terms correspond to the "International Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature", fifth edition, translation and Russian terminology by Professor Zelenevsky N. V. (2013). As a result of the study, the features of the histological structure of the salivary glands of sables were revealed, as well as their morphometric parameters were determined.
