Abstract | ||||
A total number of 108 adult camels were examined of them 64 males and 44 females. The study was carried in surrmer and winter in Upper Egypt in 3 main localities to see the effect of feeding and climatic conditions on the clinical signs with speeial references to body temperature, pulse and respiratory rate. The study proved that camels fed very low level of concentrates wheather in winter or summer time were in a bad clinical eondition with usually lost appetite but mucous membrane was somewhat congested at winter time with pale or rosy mucous membrane. Camels fed medium amount of concentrates which (somewhat below needed standard) showed a fair clinical condition inspite of the presence of some abnormalities manifested in the form of decreased appeetite with slightly congested mucous membrane. Animals fed needed seandard of food were in a good condition, clinically healthy with good appetite and rosy red mucous membrane and copill aries filled with blood. | ||||
