“…The development of the intestine is important for the adult gastroenterologist to appreciate, because of the potential for these early life events to affect the responsiveness of the intestine to physiological or pathological challenges later in life (Drozdowski et al, 2010). Prenatal development of intestine has been studied in Sheep (Karadag et al, 1994), Pig (Sangild et al, 2000), Buffalo (Singh et al, 2009) and in Camel (Bello et al, 2012), but very little systematic attention has been paid towards early prenatal development of the intestine in goats (Chima & Nwagbo, 2009; Gautam & Mishra, 2016; Raghav, 2016; Verma et al, 2020; Verma, Farooqui, Prakash, Pathak, Singh, Gupta, & Goyal, 2021; Verma, Farooqui, Prakash, Pathak, Singh, Gupta, Kumar, et al, 2021; Verma, Farooqui, Prakash, Pathak, Singh, Yadav, et al, 2021). Beside this, the information collected in the present study will also fulfil a gap in the scientific literature of prenatal development in goats.…”
