    Abstract:
    The vesicular, Prostate and bulbourethral glands of 38 buffalo-bulls were studied histologically and histochemically. These gland were tubulo-alveolar in type. The secretory units of the VG were lined by columnar and basal cells while those of PG and BG were lined by columnar or cuboidal cells. The glands were devoid of any glycogen or lipid. Although the PG and BG were mucoid in nature, the VG was free from neutral and acidic mucopolysaccharides. Some hydrolytic enzymes (ALKPase, ACPase, ATPase and Che) and one oxidative enzyme (SDH) were demonstrated in these glands. The results were discussed in the view of the available literature.
