The content of vitamin C, vitamin B2 and fat-soluble vitamins E and A in camel milk was studied. The milk samples were collected from 20 individual camels (Camelus dromedarius) in two different occasions. The study showed that camel milk contains considerably less vitamin A and B2 than cow milk while the content of vitamin E was about the same level. The level of vitamin C was in average three ...

This review examines the one humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) a considerable number of the dromedary about 50,000 is found in the semi-arid part of Northern Nigeria. Apart from the wide use of the camel as a draught animal the camel now serve as a source of milk, meat and hide in this region, these notes examines the anatomical basis of reproduction, pregnancy, and its diagnosis, fertility, a...

The dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius, one-humped camel) is an important livestock species adapted to hot and arid environments. It is most abundant in the arid lowlands of Africa, the Middle East and Western Asia. The economic importance of this multipurpose animal is evident from the numerous benefits provided by camel products (meat, milk, wool). Moreover, the camel serves for riding, as ...

abattoir survey was carried out to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths and the seasonal fluctuations in intestinal worm burdens and faecal worm egg counts of camel in khorasan razavi province in the northeast of iran. a total of 306 dromedaries (camelus dromedarius) in the mashhad abattoir, in the northeast of iran and the capital of khorasanprovince were examined between oct...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the sero-prevalence of neospora caninum infec­tion in camelus dromedarius ; the most popular camel species in iran. methods:   totally, 310 serum samples were collected from camels in isfahan province during 2008 and tested in shahrekord university using indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifat) for se­rodiagnosis of anti- n. caninum igg anti...

Four camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at King Faisal University with maxillary masses. On radiographs, masses were multicystic and expanded bone. The tumors diagnosed by histopathologic examination as conventional ameloblastoma, two cases intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma, central odontogenic fibroma ossification. To authors’ knowledge, this is fir...

BACKGROUND There has been a growing interest in camel anaplasmosis due to its recent emergence in this reservoir species and concerns for its zoonotic potential. The epidemiology of anaplasmosis in camels therefore remains poorly understood mostly because camels belong to marginalised poor and often transhumant populations whose interests are largely neglected. Most studies of anaplasmosis in c...

Problem statement: This study was conducted to describe & report for the first time outbreaks of natural C.pseudotuberculosis infection in adult camel herds (Camelus dromedarius) in Jordan. An infectious disease syndrome was reported in three camel herds (Camelus dromedarius) intensively raised at south province in Jordan. Approach: The herds included over 160 adult camels out of which about 8%...

Although the sequencing information of Sox2 cDNA for many mammalian is available, the Sox2 cDNA of Camelus dromedaries has not yet been characterized. The objective of this study was to sequence and characterize Sox2 cDNA from the brain of C. dromedarius (also known as Arabian camel). A full coding sequence of the Sox2 gene from the brain of C. dromedarius was amplified by reverse transcription...
