Four characteristics, namely, skin thickness, the number of sweat glands per square centimeter of skin, the volume of sweat glands and the depth at which these sweat glands were located were investigated in the three genotypes of Hereford cattle.Of the four characteristics studied, only skin thickness differed significantly among the three genotypes. The dwarfs had the thinnest skin and the normal animals had the thickest skin. The heterozygotes showed intermediate values. No significant differences were revealed among the three genotypes for the other three characteristics.
