ABSTRACT
This study described the technique of uterine biopsy and its application in diagnosis of endometritis in dromedary camels. Twenty two endometrial biopsies were collected from female dromedaries clinically diagnosed as suffering from endometritis. Uterine tissue specimens were microscopically examined and graded. These grades were 9.1%, 54.5% and 36.4% for normal endometrium, minor histopathological changes and chronic endometritis, respectively. In conclusion, dromedary endometrial biopsy is a safe and reliable technique for providing detail on endometrial inflammation.
