The present study was undertaken to evaluate the blood biochemical and wool
mineral profile of Marecha dromedary camel calves reared in intensive management system
(IMS) by feeding two different dietary regimes. The study was conducted at camel breeding and
research station (CBRS) Rakh-Mahni tahsil Mankera of district Bhakkar-Punjab, Pakistan.
Ten male calves of 310±35 days of age were raised in stall-fed conditions. They were fed two
isocaloric diets with different protein levels as 18% (G1) and 22% (G2). Regarding roughage
proportion lucerne and gram crop residues were fed. Daily feeding allowance was offered as
3% body weight. Water was provided twice a day. In blood-biochemical analyses, level of Hb
(hemoglobin) concentration (P<0.05) was found to be significantly different as 16.4±0.14
and 16.8±0.09 (g/dL) with G1 and G2, respectively. The concentration levels of cholesterol,
triglycerides, urea, creatinine, albumin, total-protein, glucose, Ca and P were found significantly
(P<0.05) varied among groups. Regarding hair mineral profile, concentrations of Cu and Mn
were found non-significantly (P>0.05) varied among the groups while concentrations of Ca,
Mg, Zn and Fe were found non-significantly (P>0.05) varied between groups fed with ration
I and II.
