Abstract
English (OpenAlex)
This study aimed to identify the morphometrical and histological structure of eyeball (bulbus oculi) in Abaza and Gurcu goats.The study analyzed ten pairs of bulbus oculi from Abaza and Gurcu goats (5F/5M), taking several morphometric measurements over the eyes using a digital caliper.The eyes observably possessed all recognized anatomical formations in both goat breeds.However, the lens was different in Gurcu goats.Analyses revealed that the pupilla dorso ventral diameter (P<0.001***),lens dorso ventral diameter (P<0.005**), and lens medio lateral diameter (P<0.05*)parameters were all statistically significant in Abaza and Gurcu goats.Histologically, Abaza goats had narrow iris structures and dense muscle fibers, whereas Gurcu goats displayed wider and mostly connective tissue formation.Similarly, the choroid of Abaza goats had more dense connective tissue and a narrow structure, whereas the choroid of Gurcu goats retained less connective tissue and a larger layout.
