Abstract

The ultrasonographic images of clinically normal mammary glands of fourteen one-humped she- camels were recorded using 5.0 and 7.5 MHz linear transducer. The obtained results were confirmed through dissection of three mammary gland samples obtained freshly from the slaughterhouse. The glandular parenchyma of the udder of non-lactating she-camels appeared uniformly hyperechoic than that of the lactating one. At the base of each quarter two distinct gland cisterns were seen shared, a common hyperechoic wall while the cistern cavity appeared anechoic because of presence of milk. The teat wall was differentiated into four ultrasonographic layers. Each teat possessed two Separate anechoic teat cistern separated with a connective band and outside of the teat with a hyperechoic tissue communicated with the Separate streak canal, which appeared as a thin, hyperechoic line. We can conclude that ultrasonographic imaging of the mammary gland in  one-humped camels is a noninvasive imaging technique which can Both recumbent positions. The teats of one be performed in standing and humped she camel's possess only two cisterns and two separate streak canals like other Camelidae species. Moreover, the normal ultrasonographic pattern of the mammary gland will be helpful for further studies dealing with diagnosis of different mammary gland diseased conditions
