          Abstract

          The tongue papillae of 6-9-month-old Jamunapari goats were studied by scanning electron-microscopy. The conical-shaped filiform papillae had 3-6 pointed projections and 6-8 secondary papillae at the free tip and the base of the dorsal surfaced of the tongue, respectively. The convex surfaced fungiform papillae were raised above the lingual mucosa. The vallate papilla was characterized by a papillary groove and an annular pad. The large conical papilla had a round base and a blunt tip without any projection. Two types of lenticular papillae could be distinguished. The irregular surface of all types of papillae revealed microplicae in the form of microridges and micropits. The fungiform papilla was studded with microvilli. The taste pores were oriented on the dorso-lateral surface of the vallate papilla.
