| Abstract | ||
| Pulmonary diseases in camelids represent one of the major complaints in camelid veterinary practice. The present study was undertaken during winter 2012 to investigate histopathologic patterns of pulmonary lesions in camels (Camelus deromedarius) slaughtered in one of the slaughterhouses in Tehran province. In this study, 23 carcases, out of totally 48 carcases inspected at postmortem, found with one or more pulmonary lesions. Proper tissue samples obtained from lungs with macroscopic lesions, fixed in 10% neutral buffer formaldehyde, processed for routin histopathological techniques, and finally sections of 5µm thickness cut and stained by H&E staining techniques. The major pulmonary lesions encountered in camel lungs were as follow: interstitial pneumonia 19 (39.5%), fibrinous bronchopneumonia 1 (2.08%), pneumoconiosis 15 (31.25%), parasitic pneumonia (hydatidosis) 1 (2.08%). In this study 4 (8.33 %) and 3 (6.25%) cases of atelectasis and blood aspiration were noticed respectively. As the results indicate, the interstitial pneumonia was considered as the most common pulmonary lesion in camels and was the major factor of condemnation (39.5%) of lungs in this species in this slaughterhouse. | ||
