| Abstract | ||||
| The exogenous induction of parturition in a given species enables the implementation of intensive management practices e.g. programmed group feeding of dams, set time weaning of calves and group rearing of the meaned stock, thus removing the burden of single animal management. In the one humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) the female in labor tends to wanders for seeking a suitable site for calving, thus hampering assistance in case of difficult births (Arthur et al., 1985). Furthermore, the great variation in gestation length in she camel Elwishy (1987) complicates the issue still-further. The induction of synchronized labor in groups of pregnant she camel's would aid in concentrating calving and leads to reduced losses by reducing unobserved calving difficulties. The aim of the present study is to examine the possible use of a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin F2& (Cloprostenol, Estrumate) for the induction of calving in the pregnant she camel. | ||||
