Abstract

The present study was undertaken to elucidate the several pathological affections of the pericardium in camels in North-Western, Rajasthan. The majority of the camels included in this study had died of natural causes. The pathological conditions of epicardium comprised inflammatory conditions 28.12%, non-inflammatory conditions 34.37% and circulatory disturbances 37.5%. The inflammatory changes included hemorrhagic pericarditis 9.37% suppurative pericarditis 15.62% and fibrinous pericarditis 3.12%. The non-inflammatory circulatory lesions included hydropericardium 12.5%, hemopericardium 3.12% serous atrophy of epicardial fat18.75% and Epicardial haemorrhages 37.50% .
