Accuracy of image analysis for linear zoometric measurements in dromedary camels.

The present study was designed to verify the effectiveness of the image analysis method for body measurement in dromedary camel compared to manual measurements as a reference method. To achieve this aim, twenty-one linear body measurements were estimated on 59 adult Sahraoui dromedary camels (22 males and 37 females) with a normal clinical condition by using a measuring stick or vernier caliper (standard method). On the other hand, image analysis on profile, front, or behind photographs was processed using Axiovision Software.

Genital abnormalities associated to lack of uterine adenogenesis or endometrial gland dysgenesis of female dromedary camels ().

Background: The developmental disruption of the müllerian duct and the endometrial dynamic can generate genital lesions that could contribute to infertility.

Aim: This paper discusses two cases of genital conditions associated to endometrial gland pathologies in nulliparous female camels.

Methods: Macroscopic examinations and histopathological description were performed on congenital and acquired genital abnormalities with endometrial gland anomalies.
