OCCURRENCE OF CIRCULATORY DISTURBANCES - A PATHOLOGICAL CONDITION OF INTESTINE IN DROMEDARY CAMEL.

The present study was undertaken during period of September 2013 to January 2014 to study occurrence and histopathology of various circulatory disturbances of intestine in camel. During study period a total of 172 samples of camel intestine, irrespective of age, sex and breeds were examined. Out of these samples, 103 (59.88%) showing frank gross lesions were collected and tissue sections from these samples were subjected to histopathological examination. Various circulatory disturbances of intestine were recorded in 37.86 per cent (39 out of 103). Gross examination showed distended venous network on serosal surface of intestine in congestion, brownish-red coloured streaks and petechie on the mucosal surface of intestine in haemorrhagic condition and thickened submucous tissues than normal tissues were observed in oedema. Microscopic examinations revealed predominance of engorged blood vessels in congestion, focal haemorrhagic infiltration of intestinal tissue in haemorrhagic condition and showed thickening and expansion of submucosa in oedematous changes.
