A survey on camel brucellosis in Boushehr province of Iran was carried out during the year 1997. A total of 258 serum samples were collccted and serologically examincd. Out of thesc samples. 5 cases (% 1.93) showed laboratory evidence of hrl/cclla infcc'tiol1. 111 hacleriological examinatiol1, the Iymph nodes of ail serologically positive camcls were cultured. Brl/cella melilensis biotype 1 was...

a feeding trial of 120 days duration was conducted to study the effect of replacing 20 and 25 % of camel ration by poultry litter (pl) on the performance and some blood biochemical parameters. fifteen healthy one–humped camels were allotted into three groups (5 animals / group). the first group was fed a basal ration and considered as control, while the second and third groups were fed rations ...

In this study production, reproduction, population, management and economic parameters resulted from recording of 7 flocks with size 57 to 400 and 721 heads of camels in a cycle of reproduction, during three years from 2011 to 2013 were used to find out of the economic values of important traits in one hump camel in desert areas rearing system. The economic traits that appeared in profit equati...

Abstract Genetically engineered chymosin from the tree shrew ( Tupaia belangeri chinensis ) has been obtained and partially characterized for first time. The target enzyme was produced in Escherichia coli , strain BL21(DE3). It shown that recombinant coagulates cow milk Bos taurus ). total specific milk-clotting activity of 0.7–5.3 IMCU/mL 8.8–16.6 IMCU/mg. nonspecific proteolytic relation to b...

Interspecies embryo transfer is a possible approach that can be used to conserve endangered species. It could provide a useful technique to preserve the Iranian and wild Bactrian camels, both of which are threatened with extinction. In the present study, one Bactrian camel was superovulated using decreasing doses of FSH (60, 40, 30, 30, 20, 20 mg, b.i.d.; Folltropin-V; Bioniche, London, ON, Can...

Tissue samples of thyroid glands of 16 healthy camels (Camelus dromedarius) were investigated under two age groups i.e. group A (3-5 years) and group B (6-10 years)) with equal number of animals, for their gross and microscopic anatomy. Gross studies revealed that thyroid glands were located near the first ring of trachea and had two lobes, connected by an isthmus. They were of reddish brown in...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from camel liver was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and a combination of DEAE-cellulose, Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration, and 2', 5' ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography columns. The specific activity of camel liver G6PD is increased to 1.80438 units/mg proteins with 63-fold purification. It turned out to be homogenous on both nati...

A clinical study to evaluate unilateral application of 10 holes dynamic compression plates (DCPs) for the treatment of bilateral fracture of the mandible insingle-humped camels. Six cases of typical mandibular fractures in the dromedary camel were treated by unilateral application of 3.5 mm 10holes DCP. Restrained of camels was performed with deep sedation using xylazine hydrochloride and ketam...

Bovine and camel chymosin are aspartic peptidases that are used industrially in cheese production. They cleave the Phe105-Met106 bond of the milk protein κ-casein, releasing its predominantly negatively charged C-terminus, which leads to the separation of the milk into curds and whey. Despite having 85% sequence identity, camel chymosin shows a 70% higher milk-clotting activity than bovine chym...
