Morphometrical and statistical findings of the tissue layer thickness in the omasum of red deer during prenatal development (µm)

	Group I CRL (cm) (1.4–3.6) 30–60 days	Group II CRL (cm) (4.5–7.2) 67–90 days	Group III CRL (cm) (8–19) 97–135 days	Group IV CRL (cm) (21–33) 142–191 days	Group V CRL (cm) (36–40) 205–235 days
Epithelium	62 ± 5	119 ± 11^a	219 ± 18^a	390 ± 28^a	525 ± 30^a
Lp + Sb	pbt 195 ± 10^*	pbt 206 ± 13^*	99 ± 8^b	168 ± 14^b	164 ± 16^b
Tm			79 ± 10^b	160 ± 11^b	155 ± 13^b
Serosa	56 ± 3	34 ± 8^a	32 ± 7^a	26 ± 4^a	24 ± 6^a
Wall	313 ± 16	364 ± 13^a	429 ± 30^a	744 ± 38^a	868 ± 29^a

Lp + Sb, lamina propia and submucosa; Tm, tunica muscularis; pbt, pluripotential blastemic tissue.

The pluripotential blastic tissue of Groups I and II, which will later give rise to the lamina propria and submucosa, were not statistically compared because one structure will give rise to a variety of others.

P < 0.05 vs. Group I.

P < 0.05 vs. Group III.
