Consequently, pastoralists around the world, particularly in Africa, are shifting from cattle to camel and small ruminant production. In a changing climate scenario, camel, in particular, has a lot of promise for protecting poor and marginal farmers' socioeconomic standing as an alternative source of income. Despite its advantages over other domestic animals, the camel has received little attention, with the majority of attention being focused on cattle, sheep, and goats, among other things. Egypt has a significant deficit in red meat production and, is around 55% self-sufficient (543,000 tons), which is met by importing from abroad, primarily beef, up to 99% of all red meat imports, with a total of 21.5 billion pounds, posing a significant burden on the balance of payments. In this review, the activities of the National Campaign for the Promotion of Camel Productivity under the intensive production system to reduce the gap and enhance local red meat production are being explained, considering the harsh conditions brought on by climate change, drought, water scarcity, and environmental implications. In addition, the common camel diseases and rumen microbial populations and its classification are taking place in the review.","PeriodicalId":171434,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Camel Science","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123179621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The studies on microbial conjunctivitis of newborn camel calves after parturition and their relation to vaginal microbes are rare and important to avoid blindness. Fifty pregnant she-camels were noticed till parturition. Vaginal swabs of mother camels and conjunctival swabs of their newborns were taken after parturition. From microbiological examination, several microbes could be isolated as follow; E. coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Enterobacter sp., Proteus sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus sp., Corynebacterium sp., Bacillus sp. and Candida sp. From vaginal and conjunctival swabs, E. coli was the predominant isolates. Molecular identification by PCR was done on selected 3 E. coli isolates from conjunctivitis swabs of newborns camel calves. Antimicrobial resistance was found in E. coli isolates to common used antibiotics. The mean results of antibiotic sensitivity were cleared. The E. coli isolates showed high resistance against 4 of tested 6 antibiotics with percentage of 66.67% which were Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Tetracycline and Trimethoprim - Sulfamethoxazole. On the other hand, they were sensitive to only Azthromycin with percentage of 16.66% and intermediate to Streptomycin (16.67 %). The sensitivity to natural anti-microbial activity of marine microalgae ( Nannocloropsis oculata) was investigated as trial to overcome antimicrobial resistance. Further studies are recommended to develop new veterinary pharmaceutical agents.","PeriodicalId":171434,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Camel Science","volume":"207 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124654563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Camel trainers use their traditional ways in racing camel feeding depend mainly on Barley and green Alfalfa beside to other food stuff like dates, honey, molasses and cow`s milk. This experiment was conducted in a camel barn in Ajman, United Arab Emirates. The effect of feeding controlled bio-fermented forage fiber-based feeds called FiberPower® on 5 Arabian racing camels under Arabian Peninsula climate. Blood sample collected before feeding FiberPower®, and 3 blood samples collected after applying our feeding formula. Changes in both hematological and biochemical parameters had been conducted for the 5 camels in our experiment. Hematological and biochemical parameters had been tested. Comparison between results before and after FiberPower® feeding showed improvement of the optimum values of White Blood Cells (WBCs), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Creatine Kinase (CK), and Aspartate Transaminase (AST) which reflected on good health and performance of Arabian racing camels. For example, BUN decreased significantly from 20.2 (±4.1) mg /dl to 13.8 (±1.8) mg /dl after only 9 days of feeding on FiberPower® and nearly the same value of optimum level which is 13 mg /dl. However the other hematological and biochemical parameters did not show any significant difference.","PeriodicalId":171434,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Camel Science","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124720264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lung specimens (n = 572) were collected for this investigation, with normal lungs identified in 390 (68.18%) serving as a control group, and pneumonic camel lung samples (n = 182; 31.82%) classified as the diseased group, all of which were collected from slaughterhouses in Egypt's North Western Coast. The isolates comprised nine genera of pathogenic bacteria; Staphylococcus spp. 88 (19%), Salmonella spp. 40 (8.7%), Klebsiella pneumoniae 75 (16.4%), Pastuerella multocida 38 (8.3%), Mycoplasma spp. 58 (12.6%), Bacillus spp. 35 (7.6%), Streptococcus pyogenes 20 (4.3%), Streptococcus pneumoniae 68 (14.8%) and Proteus spp. 35 (7.6%). Using blood samples collected from both groups, the specified biochemical and immunological parameters were evaluated. The diseased camels exhibited substantial increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, TNF, and IFN-), acute phase proteins (fibrinogen, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, and serum amyloid), and acute phase cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, TNF and IFN). Immunoglobulins increase, but total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) were not significantly affected by infection. In contrast, the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, complement 3, complement 4, albumin serum levels, and the A/G ratio all decreased substantially, and hematological analysis revealed a highly significant decrease (P ≤ 0.01) in RBC count compared to the control group.

Growth performance, physiological indicators, hematological parameters, plasma enzymes, and metabolic hormones were measured to evaluate the ZADO ® supplementation effect. The results indicated that camels in G3 recorded the highest values in average daily gain (ADG) and total weight gain (TWG) than the other two groups, which were 910, 804, and 628g and 104.7, 92.5, and 72.3 kg for G3, G2, and G1 respectively. Regarding Hb and Ht, G3 was the highest then G2 and followed by G1 was the lowest. Furthermore, blood metabolites such as total protein, albumin, globulin, and glucose increased significantly than the control. In addition, metabolic hormones had significant differences where G3 was the highest.Plasma liver enzymes ALT and AST values were highly significant ( P <0.05) in treated groups more than control. Lipids values (total lipids, triglycerides, and total cholesterol), blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine were lower in G3 than in G2 and G1. Metabolic hormones IGF1 and T3 were significantly higher in G3 than in the other two groups, Also T4 took the same trend but the differences were non-significant Finally, it may be concluded that feeding Maghrabi camel calves on diet supplemented with ZADO ® are performed better than those un-supplemented. Moreover, the best level of supplement is 40g/h/d.","PeriodicalId":171434,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Camel Science","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134215130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
