Abstract :

The camel breeding system is specifically adapted to the dry environment and ensures effective reproduction. The male contains a fibroblastic penis and special accessories that facilitate sperm production, maturity and ejaculation. Their reproductive cycle is directed by testosterone, affecting seasonal behavior. Female animals have a unique two channel uterus and depend on a process called induced ovulation, which means that sexual intercourse indicates the release of an egg. Hormones such as FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone play an important role in pregnancy and birth, with pregnancies around 13 months and usually a calf. Breeding and reproductive success can be affected by things such as nutrition, environmental tension and some reproductive challenges. Understanding how camels are introduced, which is really important for keeping the flock healthy, improving productivity and ensuring sustainable breeding programs in, especially in areas where these wonderful animals are really important for transport important, as well as providing milk and meat.
