Breeding soundness evaluation, a tool for improving the sustainability of dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) breeding systems in arid and semi-arid lands
The reduced fertility of dromedary camel (DC) bulls, whether temporary or permanent, poses a significant threat to the sustainability of camel breeding systems and, consequently, to food security in arid and semi-arid regions. Therefore, it is crucial to assess dromedary camel breeding bulls to ensure they can fulfill their reproductive potential. However, standardized clinical and andrological evaluation procedures, known as breeding soundness evaluations, as well as an efficient reporting system, are currently lacking for this species. In this narrative review, the most important aspects related to bull fertility and breeding soundness evaluation have been described and adapted to the dromedary camel bull in order to provide a standardized procedure for an efficient clinical and andrological evaluation in this species, taking into account its unique characteristics. Additionally, a herd and bull examination record form, divided into four main sections, has been provided, for the first time, to ensure efficient and consistent data collection and reporting. If implemented on a large scale, the clinical evaluation procedures and data collected by the recording forms provided in this study, would help to identify factors associated with the impairment of reproductive efficiency in dromedary herds and bulls worldwide.
期刊介绍:
Animal Reproduction Science publishes results from studies relating to reproduction and fertility in animals. This includes both fundamental research and applied studies, including management practices that increase our understanding of the biology and manipulation of reproduction. Manuscripts should go into depth in the mechanisms involved in the research reported, rather than a give a mere description of findings. The focus is on animals that are useful to humans including food- and fibre-producing; companion/recreational; captive; and endangered species including zoo animals, but excluding laboratory animals unless the results of the study provide new information that impacts the basic understanding of the biology or manipulation of reproduction.
The journal''s scope includes the study of reproductive physiology and endocrinology, reproductive cycles, natural and artificial control of reproduction, preservation and use of gametes and embryos, pregnancy and parturition, infertility and sterility, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
The Editorial Board of Animal Reproduction Science has decided not to publish papers in which there is an exclusive examination of the in vitro development of oocytes and embryos; however, there will be consideration of papers that include in vitro studies where the source of the oocytes and/or development of the embryos beyond the blastocyst stage is part of the experimental design.
