An over view on the anatomy and physiology of male one humped camel (Camelus Dromedarius) reproductive system
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Review - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Available literatureon the Anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system of dromedary camel in Nigeria is observed to assess the current performanceand productive potential of this species. The origins, distribution andclassification of camel breeds are briefly discussed. The reproductive anatomyand physiology is described, and is followed by an account of breedingbehaviour and performance, with special attention to fertility. A brief accounton the biometry, gross anatomy,histology, morphometry and physiology inrelation to reproductive performance ofthe one humped camel is discuss. The camel's ability to produce milk and meatis assessed in detail, together with its suitability for transport and otherpurposes, such as ploughing, milling and the production of hides and skins.Management and socio-economic factors are also briefly discussed. Finally, theinformation presented is summarized to served as an aid in teaching and as abase-line to farmers in inproving the standard of the West African specie.There is need for future research on theabove mention specie in reproduction and husbandry in Nigeria.
