Johann Conrad Peyer (1653 to 1712) was a Swiss anatomist and physician, a native of Schaffhausen. He studied medicine in Paris under Guichard Joseph Duverney and in Montpellier under Raymond Vieussens, and received his medical degree at Basel in 1681, after which he returned to Schaffhausen to practise medicine and carried out research with Johann Jakob Wepfer and Johann Conrad Brunner. His 1677 work on the glands of the intestines describes the aggregated lymphatic nodules in the lining of the small intestine that are still called Peyer patches after him. He also wrote an influential work on veterinary medicine, a study of ruminants and rumination titled Merycologia.
