Husbandry Guidelines Arabian Camel Camelus Dromedarius Husbandry Guidelines for Arabian Camel Camelus dromedarius Camelidae: Mammalia Compiler: Jodie Moretti Date of Preparation: 29/07/08 Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, Richmond Course Name and Number: Captive Animals Certificate III RUV 30204 Lecturers: Graeme Phipps, Jacki Salkeld, Brad Walker DISCLAIMER The following document contains guidelines, for the care of the Arabian (Dromedary) Camel (Camelus dromedarius) in captivity based on scientific research of wild animals and experience of captive husbandry. The author of the following guidelines cannot be, and are not, legally, financially or in any other way, responsible for the application of techniques described within this document. When undertaking any procedures or techniques outlined in this document, it is up to individual workers to assess the unique circumstances of their situation, apply common sense, and subsequently apply any procedures or techniques at their own risk. In all cases, the reader of this document are cautioned not to use this handbook as an exact step-by-step guide, but rather as a starting reference point for further work. 2 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS Risk Rating Male: Dangerous Female: Hazardous The Arabian Camel, although normally well-tempered and manageable as a collection species is rated as dangerous and hazardous for male and female specimens respectively because they have the ability to cause significant injury and possibility of death. The Camel is a tall, heavy mammal weighing in at 400-600kg. Servicing their enclosures can be risky, especially during the rutting (breeding) season when males, if housed with females, may undertake in fights to show dominance or they may become very pushy with keeping personnel. The solution to that problem, as long as specimens are not wanted for breeding, is to castrate them, as this eliminates the aggressive behaviours. However if the camels are wanted for breeding, it is best to keep the sexes separate until the most opportune moment for breeding. To service them safely during this time, it is recommended to have facilities to separate them from keepers whilst in the exhibit (holding pen). Even when not in breeding season, both male and female camels still have the equipment to cause serious harm. Camels have the extraordinary ability to kick in obscure directions, even to the side, which means one must give a camel a wide berth in all directions when walking near them. Another tool the camel has is their ferocious looking teeth. A camel possesses quite large incisors and canine teeth that direct back in towards the mouth. This gives them the ability to scalp the skin of a keepers head or inflict a very nasty bite if given the opportunity. One of the most well known risks of working with camels is their ‘reputation’ for spitting a foul smelling stream of stomach contents when aggravated or annoyed. This can hopefully be avoided though if your camels are housed in a calm environment and respected. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION

  • Camel Prion Disease: a Possible Emerging Disease in Dromedary Camel Populations?
    Camel prion disease: a possible emerging disease in dromedary camel populations? ©B. Babelhadj/University Kasdi Merbah, Algeria The identification of a new prion disease in dromedary camels in Algeria and Tunisia, called camel prion disease (CPD), extends the spectrum of animal species naturally susceptible to prion diseases and opens up new research areas for investigation. Camel prion disease was identified in 2018 in adult camels showing clinical signs at the ante mortem inspection at slaughterhouses in the region of Ouargla (Algeria), and in 2019 in the region of Tataouine (Tunisia). It adds to the group of existing animal prion diseases, including scrapie in sheep and goats, chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids and BSE (mainly in bovines). The detection of a new prion disease in the dromedary population requires attention and investigation needs to be carried out to assess the risks of this disease to animal and public health. As of today, very limited epidemiological information is available to assess the prevalence, geographical distribution and dynamic of the transmission of the disease. Based on the clinical signs suggesting prion disease, CPD seems to have occurred in 3.1% of the dromedaries brought to the abattoir in Ouargla. Pathognomonic neurodegeneration and disease- specific prion protein (PrPSc) were detected in brain tissue from three symptomatic animals (source: CDC article wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/24/6/17-2007_article). In May 2019, the OIE received a report from Tunisia on a single case of a 12-year-old slaughtered dromedary camel showing neurological signs confirmed as CPD by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) based in Italy.

Dr. Omaima M. Kandil Prof. of Embryo Biotechnology email: [email protected] Abstract: Culture conditions for in vitro embryo production (IVP) in domestic species have been improved in recent years. Despite the low reproductive performance, camels are probably the last large domestic species to experience the benefit from these in vitro culture techniques. The aim of the present study was to compare the in vitro maturation (IVM) of camel oocytes in different culture media. The effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on camel oocyte maturation was also examined. Oocytes (n=8805) were aspirated from 604 camel ovaries during the breeding season. Selected oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 and CR1aa media at 38.5 ºC, under 5% CO2 for 40 h. Oocytes were also matured in culture media supplemented with EGF (20 ng/ml).Maturation of camel oocytes was assessed at end of incubation. Assessment of cytoplasmic maturation of camel oocytes was carried out through 4 grades (G0, G1, G2 and G3) of cumulus cell expansion.

  • Los Camélidos Sudamericanos
    Investigaciones en carne de llama LOS CAMÉLIDOS SUDAMERICANOS Celso Ayala Vargas1 El origen de los camélidos La teoría del origen de los camélidos, indica que se originaron en América del Norte hace unos 50 millones de años. Sus antepasados dieron lugar al Poebrotherium, que era del tamaño de una oveja y proliferaba alrededor de 30 millones de años. En el Mioceno, ocurren cambios morfológicos en los camélidos, quienes aumentan de tamaño y se adaptan al tipo de alimento más rústico, desarrollando el hábito del pastoreo itinerante, el cual se convierte en el medio más adecuado para la migración a través de las estepas en expansión. Hace unos cinco millones de años un grupo de camélidos avanzan hacia América del Sur y otros a través del estrecho de Bering rumbo al Asia. La evolución posterior de esta especie produjo dos géneros distintos: El Género Lama, que actualmente es nativa a lo largo de los Andes, se divide en 4 especies Lama glama (Llama), Lama pacus (alpaca), Lama guanicoe (guanaco), Vicugna vicugna (vicuña) (Cardozo, 1975) estos dos últimos en estado silvestre, y por otra parte el género Camelus, dromedarios y camellos migran al África y el Asia Central. Investigaciones arqueológicas permiten conocer ahora; que las primeras ocupaciones humanas en los Andes fueron entre 20.000 a 10.000 años y la utilización primaria de los camélidos sudamericanos (CSA) se inicia alrededor de 5.500 años. La cultura de Tiahuanaco fue la que sobresalió significativamente en la producción de llamas y alpacas (4200 a 1500 a.c.), gracias a las posibilidades ganaderas de la región, esta cultura tuvo posesión abundante de fibra y también de carne (Cardozo, 1975).

  • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Affirms Protection for Three African Antelope Species Under the ESA
    May 31, 2013 Contact: Claire Cassel 703-358-2357 [email protected] U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Affirms Protection for Three African Antelope Species under the ESA U.S. captive-bred specimens of three endangered African antelope species — the scimitar-horned oryx, dama gazelle and addax – continue to warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today. In findings made in response to two petitions seeking the removal of U.S. captive populations of these endangered species from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, the Service has determined that providing separate legal status to captive specimens of protected species is not permissible under the ESA. The findings will not impact the current, legal operation of game ranching operations and are consistent with the Service’s longstanding practice for applying the protections of the ESA to captive individuals of species that are threatened or endangered in the wild. The findings were submitted to the Federal Register on May 31. In 2005, the Service added these three antelope species to the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. The species all inhabit the sparse desert regions of northern Africa. Populations for all three species have been greatly reduced as a result of habitat loss, military activity and uncontrolled killing. In the wild, the scimitar-horned oryx may be extirpated, and the other two species are each estimated to number fewer than 500 individuals. Each of the three species occurs in greater numbers in captivity than in the wild, and many of the captive animals are held on private ranches in the United States.

Basic biomedical data from 164 neonates of four species of the tribe Hippotragini, addax (Addax nasomaculatus), scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah), Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx), and sable antelope (Hippotragus niger), were compared at one zoological institution over a 9-year period. Measured biomedical parameters included body weight, temperature, pulse and respiratory rates, packed cell vol- ume (PCV), total plasma protein, glucose, IgG assessment via zinc sulfate tur- bidity, and white blood cell count with differential. All species were maintained in a semi-free ranging setting with the same diet, available shelter, and opportu- nity for social interaction. Based on clinical and field observations, all neonates used in the study were believed to be at least 24 hr old, to have bonded with the dam, and to have no obvious physical abnormalities. Median body weights were similar only in the addax and Arabian oryx with sable antelope having the larg- est median body weight. No significant differences in rectal temperatures or pulse rates were found among species.
