Abstract

Background: Accurate diagnosis of digestive disorders in camels requires validation and optimization of new diagnostic techniques to enable clear visualization of the rumen interior.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the validity of endoscopy for visualization of the rumen in camels.

Methods: Ten apparently healthy camel calves were included in this study. Each camel was appropriately restrained, and the endoscope was inserted through the oro-esophageal route to enable visualization of the rumen.

Results: Endoscopy via the oral route allowed visualization of the upper digestive organs and rumen. The ruminal mucosa, glandular parts of the rumen, and ruminal contents were also observed. The technique was performed safely, and no clinical complications were observed.

Conclusion: The application of ruminoscopy in camels was shown to be a noninvasive and rapid technique that enabled visual access to the appearance and contents. Such research has the potential to guide clinicians toward better diagnosis of ruminal disorders in the future.

表面健康的小骆驼（骆驼）的瘤胃镜检查：技术描述和瘤胃镜观察。

背景：骆驼消化系统疾病的准确诊断需要新的诊断技术的验证和优化，以实现瘤胃内部的清晰可视化。目的：本研究的目的是描述内窥镜对骆驼瘤胃可视化的有效性。方法：选取10只表面健康的骆驼幼崽作为研究对象。每只骆驼被适当束缚，内窥镜通过口-食管路径插入，使瘤胃可见。结果：经口腔路径的内镜检查可以看到上消化器官和瘤胃。同时观察瘤胃黏膜、腺部及瘤胃内容物的变化。手术安全，无临床并发症。结论：瘤胃镜检查在骆驼身上的应用是一种无创、快速的技术，可以直观地看到瘤胃的外观和内容。这样的研究有可能指导临床医生在未来更好地诊断瘤胃疾病。
