Descriptive analysis of the genital tract of the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) collected at a slaughterhouse

The dromedary is one of the few domestic animal species that multiply at a very slow rate. Several factors among others; long gestation, simple and induced ovulation, contribute to reduction reproductive efficiency camel. To help understand camel reproduction in Niger, this study aims morphologically characterize system females slaughtered slaughterhouse. For this, total 132 genital tracts 264 ovaries belonging dromedaries were collected categorized slaughterhouse between August October 2019. Afterwards, these organs weighed measured. average values ​​of weight tract estimated 211.57±90.68 g; 596.50±38.15 g 2357.38±296.10 g, respectively for young, not pregnant adult females. However, mean length right left uterine horn 3.95±0.003 cm vs 5.13±0.23 cm; 5.61±0.03 8.78±0.24 18.40±5.86 27.90±2.64 cm, dromedary. 1.96±0.4 2.67±0.43 4.37±0.38 4.79±0.38 6.56±0.67 5.46±0.51 number follicles per ovary, it was found 17.77±1.75 side against 20.07±1.92 young female while 27.80±1, 73 28.44±1.71 29.61±2.97vs 29.67±2.95 female. On other hand, corpora lutea ovary 0.69±0.16 0.56±0.15; 2.45±0.22 2.56±0.21 2.86±0.52 1.94±0.30, Statically, all differences are significant (p˂0.05) considered, particularly status ovary. results obtained confirm anatomical structural characteristics depend on side.
