Abstract

This study was conducted on 150 camel fetuses representing the whole prenatal life. The age was represented by months and crown vertebral rump < /p> 2.4 to 12.02 months and length (CVRL), where they aged from 93 Assiut Vet. Med. J. Vol. 52 No. 111 October 2006 2.8 cm to 108 cm CVRL. Several morphological measurements Head length (HL), Interear distance (IED), IED/HL %, Ear length (EL), Ear width (EW), ear-eye distance and ear-mouth distance were carried out. The results revealed that at age 2.4 months (2.8 cm CVRL) first branchial groove (the premordium of external ear) appeared as a growth of mesenchymal tissue surrounding oval opening. At 2.66 -2.78 months (5.2 - 6.5 cm CVRL) the mesenchymal tissue increased in size to form two longitudinal folds, rostal and caudal. At 2.91 – 3.55 (8.0 - 15.0 cm CVRL), the caudal fold gradually increased in size forming triangular flap covering almost the external ear opening. At 3.64 - 4.01 months (16 - 20 cm CVRL) the fold reflected caudally. Morphological and biometric studies were followed on ear till full term fetuses where the external ear reached nearly its mature form.
