Abstract | ||||
The genital tracts and blood samples were collected from 26 slaughtered mature nonpregnant female camel during a year. The ovarian size (volume) was increased sigificantly (P < 0.01) during follicular growth and maturation with no significant difference between the right and left ovaries. The highest ovarian activity was recorded during spring and early summer. Serum biochemical studies recorded a significant increase (P < 0.01) in calcium and phosphorus concentrations during Spring. The total protein level increased during Sping, but this increase was significant (P 0.05) during summer. The cholesterol concentration decreased during spring, and decreased significantly (P < 0.05) during Summer. The ion concentration increased significantly (P <0.001) during Summer. Non significant differences were recorded in magnesium, albumin, globulin, glucose and total lipis in relation to different seasons. | ||||
