study shows that despite many respondents having a positive attitude toward telemedicine, it is still underused in clinical practice in Germany. More research on how the adoption of telemedicine can be improved is needed.

(Western Macedonia, Thessaly, Central Greece, Central Macedonia). The ochratoxin A presence in blood serum, kidney, liver, muscle, and fatty tissues in samples of slaughtered pigs was examined by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. None of all kidney, liver, muscle, and fat samples were found ochratoxin A contaminated. A total of 579 (45.95%) of the 1260 analyzed serum samples were ochratoxin A contaminated in a range from 0.21 to 5.39 μ g/mL (mean level 0.66 μ g/mL) and ochratoxin A was present in serum in 65 (77.38%) of the 84 examined farms. The mean levels of ochratoxin A serum contamination in regions of Western Macedonia, Central Greece, and Central Macedonia were similar (0.29-0.32 μ g/mL). The highest ochratoxin A value (mean 1.20 μ g/L, median 0.53 μ g/L) with the highest coefficient of variation (1.12) was found in the Thessaly region. Although ochratoxin A was not found in pork meat in Greece, the presence of ochratoxin A in pig serum requires continuous och-ratoxin A monitoring in the swine industry and pork meat.

This study was made to investigate outdoor range access on behavio-ral-based welfare parameters and post-mortem foot health conditions of slow-and fast-growing broilers in experimental conditions. There were four treatment groups (two genotypes as fast-and slow-growing birds × 2 indoor housing systems with or without range access) with five replicates. The behavior of 200 male chicks in the groups was observed at 8 weeks of age. The foot health condition was determined after slaughter. Fast-growing broilers spent more time with feeding, drinking, and dust bathing ( p ≤ .001, p ≤ .001, and p ≤ .006). The locomotion and standing behavior were found to be greater in slow-growing broilers than fast-growing broilers ( p ≤ .001 and p ≤ .001). The birds in conventional deep litter spent more time with drinking ( p ≤ .001) and lying behavior ( p ≤ .046). The post-mortem incidence of the foot pad and hock joint dermatitis was found to be greater in fast-growing broilers in both housing groups ( p ≤ .05). The results have shown that the broilers with outdoor access exhibited more natural behavior such as preening and slow-growing birds spent more time performing locomotion and standing. Slow-growing broilers had also less post-mortem foot pad and hock joint lesions compared to fast-growing broilers.

appropri-ate age group using the crown-rump length and body weight measure-ments and developmental horizons adopted from Jaji et al. (2011). The study was conducted to understand the normal morphometry of the development of female reproductive organs of the dromedary ( Camelus dromedarius ). Reproductive organs of apparently normal fetuses ( n = 24) were collected from Maiduguri metropolitan abattoir after the slaugh-ter of pregnant dromedary cows. The fetus was aged and grouped into 2–4 months, 4–7 months, 7–10 months, and 10–13 months, representing quarters of pregnancy. The reproductive systems were dissected out of the fetus, and all the organs were measured by using standard measure-ment techniques. All the parameters measured increased chronologically. In the fourth quarter, the left and right horn measured 7.50 ± 1.86 cm and 5.80 ± 0.79 cm, respectively, the uterine body, cervix, vagina, and vestibule measured 4.28 ± 0.17 cm, 4.69 ± 0.09 cm, 6.75 ± 0.21 cm, and 3.68 ± 0.19 cm, respectively, whereas the whole reproductive tract measured 57.73 ± 1.04 cm. The uterine body and uterine horn had the longest and shortest lengths. The developmental pattern of the female reproductive organs in the dromedary camel reported in this study is the first of its kind. The knowledge of the developmental pattern of the reproductive structures will aid in understanding reproductive cycles, congenital anomalies, and their etiology so that the anomalies can be treated.
