Abstract

Camels play an important role in social life and the economy. So, the current study was planned to detect the blood constituents and milk components of Maghrebi She-Camel in different parties. Thirty pregnant she-camels were inseminated and became pregnant in this study during the first quarter of 2019; thirteen pregnant she-camel managed to give calving successfully during March 2020. According to multiple parities, they were classified into three groups; (1-2 parities), (3-4 parities) and (5-6 parities). Blood measurements included hematology, substances, ions and milk measurements included yield and components. No significant differences between all groups for all hematological measurements. The overall mean of daily milk production was significantly higher after eight weeks of lactation than at the beginning of lactation. No significant results were shown in milk fat, lactose and protein neither parties nor lactation period. Milk total solid significantly was in its lowest values eight days of parturition for the first and second parties and was at its highest values for the third and fourth parties. A significant difference in ash% was found between experimental parties for the first eight days of lactation and after eight weeks. In general, those insignificant differences in blood parameters, milk productivity and composition might indicate animal health and stability.
