The single-humped camel (Camelus dromedaries) is bred in the western part of lndia. This breed is famous for high milk yield potential. In the present study, we evaluated the genetic diversity of a population of Malvi camel. Multilocus genotype data on 29 microsatellites were generated on 138 Malvi camel. A total of 240 alleles were observed. The mean observed heterozygosity in camel population...

Camel (Camelus dromidarius) is an important source of meat and milk and an iconic animal of the Saudi Arabian heritage. The accumulative evidence indicated the spread of paratuberculosis infection in the camel herds. Despite the explicit studies on the details of the disease in camels and methods of its diagnosis, paratuberculosis infection in camels suffers from wide gap of knowledge of the di...

The objective of this research was to determine the difference in myofibrillar fragmentation of camel meat and beef during postmortem aging. Semitendinosus muscle was excised at slaughter and muscle pH was measured at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72h postmortem. Myofibril fragmentation index was measured on 1, 3, 5, and 7 days postmortem. Also, myofibrils isolated from semitendinosus muscles of camel and...

Chicken egg yolk antibodies (IgY) against camel immunoglobulins were generated and their specificity was shown by double immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and Western blotting. Anti camel antibodies specifically react to camel antibodies in immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis were demonstrated. Western blotting revealed that IgY antibodies recognize the heavy chain in a number of ma...

Objectives To determine the relationship between brand-specific advertising and promotions in convenience stores for Marlboro and Camel cigarettes and choice of usual brand among school students. Design Cross-sectional survey with merged records of store tobacco advertising and promotions. Setting – United States. Participants – 3,890 high school smokers with a usual brand, matched to 196 conve...

BACKGROUND Human pancreatico-duodenal injuries caused by camels are extremely rare. OBJECTIVE We report three patients who sustained camel-related pancreatico-duodenal injuries and review the literature on this topic. RESULTS A 32-year camel caregiver was kicked by a camel which then stepped on his abdomen trying to kill him. The patient's abdomen was soft and lax. CT scan of the abdomen sh...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from camel liver was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and a combination of DEAE-cellulose, Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration, and 2', 5' ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography columns. The specific activity of camel liver G6PD is increased to 1.80438 units/mg proteins with 63-fold purification. It turned out to be homogenous on both nati...

In this paper we describe CAMEL, an interactive parallel environment based on the cellular automata theory. CAMEL is a tool designed to support the development of high performance applications in science and engineering. It offers the computing power of a highly parallel computer, hiding the architecture issues from a user. The system can be used both as a tool to model dynamic complex phenomen...

The objective of this study was to compare the nutritional values of camel semitendinosus muscles with those of calves. Then, sausages were made from camel meat, beef and equal proportions of each and stored at 4 degrees C for 45 days. The composition, physicochemical characteristics, sensory properties, and microstructure of the samples were evaluated. The proximate composition of meat from th...

The aim of this study was correlation determination between fat putrefaction indices and antioxidative enzymes in chicken, cattle and camel meat during refrigerated storage. Longissimus dorsi muscle of three Iranian dromedary one humped camel and three Holstein cattle and breast muscle of three broiler breeder chicken were obtained from the carcasses 3 days postmortem. The samples were ground a...
