| description | In this report, macroscopical and microscopical findings of
nutritional cardiomyopathy were firstly described in a 1.5
month old female calf-camel in Turkey. At the necropsy of the
young camel, which was found as dead in Konya Karatay Municipality
Zoo, pale, whitish colored areas were seen on the
epicardium of heart ventricules and interventricular septum.
The pale areas were more prominent in the left heart ventricle.
Lung was fairly volumed and dark reddish colored, and
there was foamy fluid in trachea and bronchi. Mediastinal
and bronchial lymph nodes were enlarged, and cut surfaces
were dark red colored. Congestion in the liver and enlargement
in thyroid glands were also observed. In microscopical
examination of the heart muscle, hyaline degeneration,
Zenker's necrosis and widespread calcification were determined.
In lung, diffuse congestion and edema in alveoli were
found. Mild hyperemia in sinusoids of the liver, degeneration
and desquamation of lamina epithelialis, neutrophil and eosinophil
granulocyte infiltration in lamina propria in small
intestine were noticed too. Papillary extensions in epithelium
of thyroid follicles due to epithelial hyperplasia were observed.
It was concluded from these findings that inadequate
nutrition probably caused white muscle disease, resulting in
blood circulation disorder in lungs, in the young camel. So,
it is advisable to have a vitamin and mineral supplement to
animal especially within the enclosed areas like zoos. |
