| Abstract | ||||
| Mineral picture of 30-one humped camels aged from 4-7 years- belonged to Bani Adi village, Assiut Governaorate. 15 of them sufffering from mange were used to investigate the clinical signs and some biochemical changes of mineral picture associated with the disease condition. The other 15 animals proved to be clinically healthy by both clinical and laboratory methods of examinations and were used as a control. The clinical signs revealed various degree of alopecia, itching, thickening and corregation of the skin scattered on various areas of the animal body. Biochemical analysis of blood sera for mineral picture revealed a highly significant (P<0.01) decrease in the blood serum sodium chloride, iron, copper and zinc levels in diseased animals. Meanwhile a non-significant variations in blood serum potassium, calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels were recorded. | ||||
