Abstract
The study revealed that the ampullae of ductus deferens(vas deferens), seminal vesicle and bulbourethral glands are paired in number and well developed in ram and buck except the prostate gland have only disseminated part surrounding the pelvic urethra (embedded in pelvic urethral wall) without body of gland. The anatomical parameters of the ampullae in ram are generally with mean length 4.98± 0.28cm,mean width 0.63 ± 0.04cm ,mean weight 2.24 ± 0.007gms and mean volume 1.4±0.03cm3.The seminal vesicle have mean length 3.68± 0.05cm, mean width 2.50±0.06cm ,mean weight 4.42± 0.15gms , mean volume 3.35±0.05cm3 .The bulbourethral gland have mean length 1.59± 0.36cm ,mean width 1.493±0.02cm ,mean weight 3.46±0.01gms ,mean volume 2.35±0.04cm3. The anatomical parameters of the ampullae in buck have mean length 4.87±0.29cm ,mean width 0.62±0.007cm, mean weight 2.18±0.007gms , mean volume 1.15±0.02cm3. the seminal vesicle gland parameters have mean length 3.61±0.01cm ,mean width 2.44±0.01cm, mean weight 4.18±0.15gms mean volume 3.05±0.04cm3.The bulbourethral gland parameters have mean length 1.58±0.005cm, mean width 1.46±0.006cm , mean weight 3.23±0.11gms and mean volume 2.05±0.03cm3.Generally the study did not observe any anatomical differences between the male accessory genital glands of ram and buck.

The accessory genital glands of males in sheep and goat are located along the pelvic portion of the urethra, with their ducts which opening and empty their secretion in to the urethral passage

The body of the prostate in one-humped camel has oval or circular shape connecting dorsally to the origin of the pelvic urethra and has pair of excretory ducts which are open on both sides of colliculus seminalis, while the disseminate part of the prostate surrounds the pelvic urethra lies caudally to the body and extend to its end(23and24)
Summary
The accessory genital glands of males in sheep and goat are located along the pelvic portion of the urethra, with their ducts which opening and empty their secretion in to the urethral passage. They are include, the ampullae, vesicular glands, prostate gland and the bulbourethral glands. The paired bulbourethral gland is present in all domestic mammalian species except the dog It consists of right and left club-shaped independent lobes, which lies on the dorsal surface of the caudal part of pelvic urethra and closely related to the bulb of penis(15). The accessory genital glands are supplied by several branches arteries from internal pudendal artery that arises about the level of the lumbosacral articulation as the other terminal branch of the internal iliac(16)
