The objective of this research was to determine the effects storage time on chemical, physical and microbial characteristics camel meat. In this study longissiums muscles of camel meat were excised and stored at 4±1oC. pH, DL, WHC, shear force values, microbial contamination and sensory Characteristics were determined. The study also indicated that time storage had no significant effect (p>0.05...

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to cell surface molecules have been proven as a key tool for phenotypic and functional characterization of the cellular immune response. One of the major difficulties in studying camel cellular immunity consists in the lack of mAbs that dtect their leukocyte differentiation antigens. In the present study two-parameter flow cytometry was used to screen existing comme...

Results: The blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) in short term administration (24 hours) of 1200 mg/kg body weight fermented skim camel milk decreased signifi cantly (p < 0.05) from 22 to 36 mmHg and 28 to 32 mmHg, respectively, at four and eight hour of post administration. On the other hand, the blood pressure of fermented skim camel milk for long-...

Aims: This study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of camel and sheep urine to Staph aureus (S.aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli). Salmonella SP, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ps. Aeruginosa) and Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae). Study Design: a total of 100 samples of urine (60 from camels and 40 from sheep) collected fromdifferent localities in Sudan including:Tampool, Elobied ...

Pastoral camel management practices in Kenya, characterised by free herd mobility that enables efficient utilisation of rangeland resources, is progressively restricted to foraging within the vicinity of urban milk market outlets. The emerging peri-urban camel production system (PUCPS) has potential livelihood benefits to households, but adapting herd management practices responsive to market d...

CONTEXT Controlling diabetes, a worldwide metabolic disease, by effective alternative treatments is currently a topic of great interest. Camel milk is believed to be a suitable hypoglycemic agent in experimental animals and patients with diabetes. The current systematic review aimed at evaluating the effect of camel milk on diabetes. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A comprehensive search was dine in Pub...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to determine the molecular characteristics of Echinococcus granulosus from paraffin-embedded tissues of hydatid cysts isolated from human and protoscoleces of hydatid cysts from sheep, cattle and camel isolates using PCR- RFLP of ITS1- rDNA analysis in Golestan Province, northern Iran. METHODS E. granulosus isolates from human patients infected with...

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are the portion of a proteoglycan that determine its final shape and function. The molecular structure of predominant GAG species in camel liver and lung is reported for the first time. The one-humped camel survives in an extreme, arid habitat and, thus, offers a good model to study the role of glycomics on homeostasis. Heparan sulfate (HS) from the lung and liver of t...

The following case report describes the diagnosis and surgery of bilateral polydactyly of unknown origin in a dromedary camel. A two-year-old, 290 kg, intact female camel was admitted for surgical removal of bilateral supernumerary digits associated with the medial aspects of the metacarpi and proximal to the fetlock joints. Radiographic examination revealed bilateral polydactyly with complete ...
