| Abstract | ||||
| Camel breeding in Egypt is increasingly recognized for its potential, particularly due to camels' remarkable ability to adapt to harsh environmental conditions. Their unique physiological and morphological characteristics facilitate survival in desert habitats. As a result, numerous studies have focused on enhancing camel reproductive capabilities through various techniques, including ovulation synchronization, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer, which will be elaborated on in this review. A significant challenge in camel reproduction is the viscosity of semen, primarily influenced by seminal plasma, which results in uneven sperm concentration during dilution. Researchers are investigating different enzymes to effectively reduce this viscosity in the dilution media, achieving notable results. Nevertheless, further studies are necessary to improve reproductive performance in camels. | ||||
