The glands were analyzed using macroscopic description, light microscopy, electron microscopy, histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. Topographically, the salivary glands resemble other animals, including domestic animals and pigs. During growth, the parotid enlarges and mandibular gland loses weight. Histologically, the parotid has serous production, and sublingual has mucous production, resembles most species, however, mandibular gland produces mucous, unlike other animals, including pigs, which produce seromucous secretion. Histochemically, parotid produces more acidic mucins than pigs and it undergoes maturation during development; mandibular, and especially the sublingual gland, produce more acidic and basic mucopolysaccharides than pigs. The results found with transmission and scanning electron microscopy techniques corroborate the histological and histochemistry findings. The major salivary glands were positive to different lecithins (Com-A, BSA-I-B4, WGA and PNA), which were also more positive than in pigs and sheep. We conclude that collared peccaries have a salivary secretion that facilitates the digestion of carbohydrates, and biometric characteristics and positivity to lecithins that facilitate adaptation to foods with antinutritional factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14192891","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]],"date-time":"2024-10-08T04:29:26Z","timestamp":1728361766000},"page":"2891","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Morphology of Larger Salivary Glands in Peccaries (Pecari tajacu Linnaeus, 1758)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Carlos Magno Oliveira","family":"J\u00fanior","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Federal de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o, Ci\u00eancia e Tecnologia do Cear\u00e1, Campus Fortaleza, Fortaleza 60115-222, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3679-2797","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H\u00e9lio Noberto de Ara\u00fajo","family":"J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancia Animal, Universidade Estadual do Cear\u00e1, Fortaleza 60714-903, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mois\u00e9s Dantas","family":"Tertulino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Federal de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o, Ci\u00eancia e Tecnologia do Cear\u00e1, Campus Fortaleza, Fortaleza 60115-222, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8226-8606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo Rom\u00e3o","family":"Guerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancia Animal, Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba, Campus II, Areia 58397-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3652-1011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciana Diniz","family":"Rola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancia Animal, Universidade Federal da Para\u00edba, Campus II, Areia 58397-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6027-1062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandre Rodrigues da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancia Animal, Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-\u00c1rido, Mossor\u00f3 59625-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos Eduardo Bezerra de","family":"Moura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancia Animal, Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-\u00c1rido, Mossor\u00f3 59625-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Moacir Franco de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancia Animal, Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-\u00c1rido, Mossor\u00f3 59625-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1601-0825.2002.02851.x","article-title":"Saliva and Gastrointestinal Functions of Taste, Mastication, Swallowing, and Digestion","volume":"8","author":"Pedersen","year":"2002","journal-title":"Oral Dis."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mavri, G., \u0160krlep, M., Rutland, C.S., Poto\u010dnik, B., Batorek-Luka\u010d, N., and Kubale, V.
