“…With respect to the biochemical changes, there was significant increase in ALT, AST, and GGT in RA group only. These results were in accordance to result obtained by Elnady et al (2019). The increased activity of ALT reflects the hepatocellular damage which may be sub lethal degeneration or necrosis and the increased activity of AST may be due to hepatocellular damage or degenerated skeletal muscles.…”

“…There were significant decrease in total proteins, albumin, globulin and A/G ratio in RA group only, this result matched with the finding of Elnady et al (2019).this could be attributed to the excretion of these parameters in the intestinal lumen with diarrhea (Cao et al, 1987). There was a highly significant rise in urea, BUN, and Creatinine levels in RA group only, which corresponded to the results obtained by Elnady et al (2019). The increased kidney functions indicate a decreased glomerular filtration rate, renal damage or reduction in effective renal flow and drop in the arterial blood pressure in camels suffered from ruminal acidosis which results in subnormal function as stated by Zein-eldin (2013).…”

“…These results were in accordance to Baraka et al (2000) and Elbehiry (2005) these changes caused by excessive production of lactic acid (Radostits et al, 2007).The increased SAT time was attributed to decreased ruminal microflora activity (Kimberling, 1988).Microscopic examination of ruminal juice revealed a significant decrease in protozoal activity and count in both RA and SI groups. These results similar to Elnady et al(2019). Death of microflora may be due to decrease of ruminal pH and increase level of lactic acid as the microflora accustoms the life in neutral media 6.2-7.2 (Steen, 2001).…”

“…On the other hand, there was a significant decrease in ALP in RA group only which could be attributed to the excretion of ALP in feces 50 fold in acidotic group (Minuti et al, 2014). There were significant decrease in total proteins, albumin, globulin and A/G ratio in RA group only, this result matched with the finding of Elnady et al (2019).this could be attributed to the excretion of these parameters in the intestinal lumen with diarrhea (Cao et al, 1987). There was a highly significant rise in urea, BUN, and Creatinine levels in RA group only, which corresponded to the results obtained by Elnady et al (2019).…”

“…Death of microflora may be due to decrease of ruminal pH and increase level of lactic acid as the microflora accustoms the life in neutral media 6.2-7.2 (Steen, 2001). The Biochemical analysis of ruminal juice showed significant decrease in ruminal pH and significant increase in time of MBRT in both RA and SI groups, The decreased rumen pH was due to increase production of lactic acid, Methylene blue reduction test used as guide to evaluate the activity of microflora (Elnady et al, 2019).These results were in accordance to Baraka.…”

Seventeen she camels aged (8-10) years old and weighting (350-400) kg were screened for the digestive disorders. Seven camels (40%) were healthy and set as control, four camels (24%) suffered from simple indigestion(SI), three camels (18%) suffered from ruminal acidosis (RA), and three camels (18%) suffered from other digestive disorders (12% foreign body and 6% liver fibrosis).Results of clinical examination revealed that body temperature, respiratory rate, and pulse rate were significantly (P < 0.05) increased in RA group compared to control while ruminal movements in both RA and SI groups were significantly decreased. The hematological findings showed significant increase in Hb, RBCs, PCV%, WBCs, and platelets in RA group compared to control. Biochemically, there was a significant increase in ALT, AST, GGT, urea, Creatinine, and K and significant decrease in ALP, albumin, globulin, total protein, A/G ratio, Na, Cl, Ca, P and Mg in RA group compared to control. Ruminal juice examination revealed a significant increase in SAT, MBRT, and significant decrease in ruminal pH, protozoal count and activity in both RA and SI groups. Ultrasonographically, the ruminal wall and reticular wall thickness were significantly increased in RA group only while small intestine diameter was significantly increased in both RA and SI groups. The content of abomasum and small intestine appeared more echoic in both RA and SI groups. It is concluded that different types of indigestion, particularly the RA can produce hematobiochemical and ultrasonographical changes with alterations in ruminal juice characters in camels.
