Popis:	A technique of gastrointestinal endoscopy for cattle and sheep is described. To allow passing of an endoscope to specific areas of the gastrointestinal tract, cannulae were placed in the descending duodenum of sheep and the rumen and proximal duodenum of a steer. The endoscopy procedure was performed while the animals were standing, conscious and in a fed state. The endoscope was passed through the cannula and was visually guided to a specific area of the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic photographs depicting normal and abnormal morphological features of the reticulo-rumen, omasum and proximal duodenum of sheep and cattle were achieved. Also, a site-specific intestinal epithelium biopsy technique was developed. Key words: Gastrointestinal endoscopy, cannulation, ruminants
