The productive performance of Maghreibian dromedary camel as influenced by extensive, semi-intensive and intensive breeding system

An increase in both human population and economic growth has been accompanied by rising per capita demand for animal products. The livestock industry is under pressure to meet this demand. The present study was conducted to analyze the management practices and economic importance of the camels.  At North Coast in north of Egypt in a private farm, 6-month study was undertaken on 30 Maghrabian dromedary camel at three (3) groups. the first group contain of 10 adult camel housed at under intensive management system (IBS) Maghrebian Camel Under Intensive System, while the second group contain of 10 dromedary camel were housed in semi-intensive system (SIBS) Maghrebian Camel Under Semi-Intensive System, while last group consist of 10 dromedary camel under Extensive management system (EBS) Maghrebian Camel Under Extensive Breeding System (EBS), the pedometer was installed in camel feet and JPS, camel walk to find out the plants that are carried out by these animals with the provision of water points in different places during the spiritualism of the spiritual. The results indicated that a significant increase in frequency, duration and grazing duration under semi-intensive system, significant increase in grazing frequency in semi-intensive system. A significant increase in diarrhea frequency and incidence of mastitis under extensive breeding system (EBS). The body weight and the daily growth rates of the camel under semi-intensive breeding system were significantly increasing, SIBS system were higher than the camel in the traditional system. It concluded that, the semi intensive breeding system showed some advantages for better growing camels compared with the Extensive breeding system (EBS). So, supplementing camel by good management under semi-intensive system lead to high productivity and reduction of animal losses. The results of the current study revealed that EBS recorded higher percentage in abortion more than in intensive system (P≤0.05) and the biggest problem causing embryonic losses. cholesterol, triglycerides, were P<0.05 while urea, creatinine and albumin were non-significant (P>0.05). The reproductive efficiency of camel under natural pastoral conditions is low, due to extensive breeding system .
