Accurate diagnosis of digestive disorders in camels requires validation and optimization of new diagnostic techniques to enable clear visualization of the rumen interior.
The aim of this study was to describe the validity of endoscopy for visualization of the rumen in camels.
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.
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.
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.
准确诊断骆驼的消化系统疾病需要验证和优化新的诊断技术，以便清晰地观察瘤胃内部情况。
本研究的目的是描述内窥镜检查在观察骆驼瘤胃方面的有效性。
本研究纳入了10头看似健康的骆驼幼崽。每头骆驼都得到适当约束，通过口腔-食管途径插入内窥镜以观察瘤胃。
经口腔途径的内窥镜检查能够观察上消化道器官和瘤胃。还观察到了瘤胃黏膜、瘤胃的腺体部分以及瘤胃内容物。该技术操作安全，未观察到临床并发症。
瘤胃镜检查在骆驼中的应用被证明是一种无创且快速的技术，能够直观地观察瘤胃外观和内容物。此类研究有可能在未来指导临床医生更好地诊断瘤胃疾病。
