| Abstract | ||
| Examination opportunities of traditional camel calf management practices were subject of this study, which aims to reduce the mortality rate in the camel calf herd under the intensive care system. Fifteen camel calves were used in this investigation in a private farm in North Coast. They were divided into three groups, five calves each, in the group (G1) they were left with their mothers and their colostrum were taken in without care.in the second group (G2) they took part of the immunizations and were also loaded onto their mothers to nurse colostrum regularly, while in the third groups(G3), they have had all the immunizations and have been nursed and fed colostrum which was also loaded onto their mothers. The results indicated that group three G3 had a significantly (P˂0.05) lower mortality rate and higher growth rate. Data illustrated that mortality rate can be reduced by administrating colostrum. Data showed that 100% of younger calves (<6 months) were more susceptible to diarrhea and older ones (6-12 months) suffering mange. Major animal health problems in the early stages of life are associated with lactation times and providing green fodder feeding. Both of good husbandry and health care practices considered one of important reason for successful camel calves rearing at first stage of life and played a vital role in animal physiological needs and the controlled local distribution of disease agents. So, deeper and more comprehensive epidemiological study was demand. | ||
