Excerpt: A camel is an even-toed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearing distinctive fatty deposits known as humps on its back. There are two species of camels: the dromedary or Arabian camel has a single hump, and the bactrian has two humps. Dromedaries are native to the dry desert areas of West Asia, and Bactrian camels are native to Central and East Asia. Both species are domesticated; they provide milk and meat, and are working animals. The term camel (from the Arabic ¿¿¿, gml, derived from the triconsonantal root signifying 'beauty') is also used more broadly to describe any of the six camel-like creatures in the family camelidae: the two true camels, and the four South American camelids: the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña. The average life expectancy of a camel is 40 to 50... READ ONLINE [ 6.36 MB ] Reviews This book is really gripping and intriguing. It is writter in easy words and never confusing.

FNinti One Limited, PO Box 3971, Alice Springs, NT 0871, Australia. GCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract Context. Helicopter shooting is a common and effective tool for reducing overabundant wildlife populations. However, there is little quantitative information on the humaneness of the method, leading to uncertainty in wildlife-management policy. There is, subsequently, a need for an improved understanding of the welfare implications of helicopter shooting. Aim. A study was undertaken to infer the humaneness of helicopter shooting for a case study species, the feral dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Methods. Seven post-mortem studies (n = 715) and one ante-mortem study (n = 192) were undertaken during routine helicopter shooting programs of free-ranging camels. In these studies, we measured four animal-welfare parameters to allow inference on the humaneness of the technique. These parameters were time to death, instantaneous death rate (proportion of animals for which time to death = 0), wounding rate and location of bullet-wound tract.

  • Wild Predator Loss Prevention Best Management Practices for Sheep
    Wild Predator Loss Prevention Best Management Practices for Sheep A guide for sheep producers on how to minimize predation of sheep 1 Wild Predator Loss Prevention Best Management Practices for Sheep Producers _______________________________________ ____________________________________________________ What is a Best Management Practice? A Best Management Practice can be a process, activity, method or technique. These processes, activities, methods and techniques are generally understood to be more effective in reaching a certain outcome or accomplishing a task than other conventional processes, activities, methods or techniques. Best Management Practices are used in many professions such as construction, technology, ecological protection, sustainable development and health care. What is a Best Management Practice for Sheep Producers? A Best Management Practice (BMP) is an approach to livestock production that seeks to minimize predation on a flock while taking into account the surrounding environment, including the wild animals within it. A BMP provides sheep producers with a toolkit of options to assist with the protection of livestock from predation. BMPs go with the idea that it is much easier to take steps to prevent predation than to try to stop it once it has started. These are your “best bets” for keeping your livestock safe. These best management practices fall into 5 categories, and are explained in the following pages. They include: ➡Husbandry Practices ➡Predator Repellants ➡Guardian Animals ➡Fencing ➡Knowing Your Neighbours The intent of this BMP is not to limit sheep producers, but rather, to provide options for them. It should be understood that every farm is different, and due to physical factors and geographic location, some farms do not have the option to adapt to several of the suggestions listed in this document.

  • The Use of Alpacas As New-Born Lamb Protectors to Minimise Fox Predation
    Extension Farming Systems Journal volume 1 number 1 – Industry Forum 65 The use of alpacas as new-born lamb protectors to minimise fox predation Sara Mahoney1 and AA Charry2 1 ‘Windara’ Naracoorte SA 5271 2Charles Sturt University, Faculty of Science and Agriculture, Orange NSW 2800 Australia [email protected] Summary. Canine attacks on newborn lambs are a problem for sheep farmers, causing substantial economic losses to the sheep industry. Anecdotal evidence indicates that alpacas reduce the losses caused by such attacks when placed within sheep flocks. A trial was conducted at two sheep farms in rural NSW where experimental – ewes grazing with alpacas - and control – ewes grazing without alpacas – groups, with replication within and across farms were organised with a total of 6,483 breeding ewes. Overall weaning percentages for each flock of sheep were tabulated at 14 weeks and evaluation of performance between groups was conducted using descriptive statistics. An inferential statistical t test for pairs was conducted to find out the level of significance of the difference in performance between the trial and control groups. Combined weaning percentage for the control groups was 69.8% while the experimental groups showed a combined weaning percentage of 82.6%. Assuming equal mortality rate because of natural causes among the groups, it may be concluded that the presence of alpacas within the lambing paddocks increased lambing weaning percentage by 13% with a = 0.025 (i.e. confidence level = 97.5%). The economic benefit is obvious considering that there is an increase of 13 lambs for each 100 breeding ewes that valued at market prices represent a meaningful marginal farm income.
