Some Skin Characteristics of "Snorter" Dwarfism in the Bovine

Abstract

Four characteristics, namely, skin thickness, skin thickness differed-significantly-among the the number of sweat gfu"Ji'i.i squJe iintij thlee genoJypes. The dwarfs had the thinnest miter of skin, the uotulme-o} iweat'glands and skin and the normal animals had the thickest ifti O.pift "t'which these-sweui-gf*4. *.r" skin.
