mineral contents of camel meat were investigated during different periods of fattening. 12 camels (camelus dromedarius), at 12 months of age, were fattened with the same diet during six and nine month periods. feed compositions included 25% alfalfa, 25% straw and 50% concentrate (55% barley, 20% bran, 15% beet pulp, 8% cottonseed meal and 2% salt) were fed under the same conditions. completely ...

the economic importance of tick infestation on camels are important as they are important meat and milk producer animals in the less vegetation area of iran and their health and production are greatly affected by the high tick infestation. in this investigation, tick infestations on camels (camelus dromedarius) were determined in qeshm island, iran. a total number of 912 adult ticks (472 males ...

Animal fats (camel, sheep, goat, rabbit and chicken) and vegetable oils (corn, sunflower, palm oil and olive oil) were substituted with different proportions (1, 5, 10 and 20%) of lard. Fatty acid composition in TG and 2-MG were determined using lipase hydrolysis and gas chromatography before and after adulteration. Results indicated that, genuine lard had a high proportion (60.97%) of the tota...

The evolutionary relationship between the domestic bactrian camel and the extant wild two-humped camel and the factual origin of the domestic bactrian camel remain elusive. We determined the sequence of mitochondrial cytb gene from 21 camel samples, including 18 domestic camels (three Camelus bactrianus xinjiang, three Camelus bactrianus sunite, three Camelus bactrianus alashan, three Camelus b...

In this study physicochemical and quality traits of biceps femoris and longissimus thoracis muscles of male and female Iranian one-humped camel were determined during 14 days of refrigeration storage. Analysis of variance of the results showed that only shear force and temperature were affected by the gender (p<0.05). Anatomical location of the muscle influenced the meat properties except for d...

Article history: Received on: 03/10/2016 Accepted on: 20/01/2017 Available online: 30/05/2017 Alanine aminopeptidase is purified from camel liver to homogeneity and designated CLAAP. The purification procedure involved anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose column and gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 column. The specific activity of CLAAP is increased to 9.9 folds over ...

AIM As the labeled anti-camel immunoglobulins (Igs) with enzymes for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are unavailable in the Egyptian market, the present investigation was directed for developing local labeled anti-camel IgG with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to save hard curacy. MATERIALS AND METHODS For purification of camel IgG whole molecule, camel sera was preliminary precipitate...
