This study was designed to obtain the normal imaging pictures of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) including the gastric compartments and small and large intestines in camel calves until the age of first 100 days of life. The GIT was examined at day 1, day 20, day 40, day 80 and day 100 by ultrasound in 15 clinically healthy camel calves (from 1 day until 100 days of age) and the normal imaging patterns were recorded and analysed. The results of ultrasonography as well as the imaging of the gastric compartments and small and large intestines are summarised. Ultrasonography could be used as a noninvasive diagnostic tool in order to detect GIT diseases in the camel calves.
