Title: Effect of Gum Arabic (Acacia Senegal) Powder Coating and Sun Drying Period on the Chemical Composition and Colour of Dehydrated Camel Meat Authors: Zakaria Abdalla, Tyseer; Ahmed Nour, Ikhlas Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gum Arabic (Acacia Senegal) powder coating level (GAL) and sun drying period (DP) on chemical composition and colour of dry camel meat. Ten Kg camel round cut were prepared into thin strips, 1x1x10 cm, divided into 3groups with 4 replicates. The Gum Arabic was blended to smooth powder, GAL (0% controls, 5% and 10%) and 3 drying periods (0 fresh, 48 and 96 hours) were studied. Chemical composition and objective color were determined. Data were analyzed as 3× 3 factorial designs using SPSS version 11.5 computer program. The results revealed that the interaction between the GAL and the DP was significant (P<0.05) in the moisture content and lightness (L*) color. Increasing both GAL and DP resulted in a significant reduction of the moisture content and lightness color (L*). The 10% GAL dried for 96hrs presented the lowest moisture (10.48), the protein and ash contents of the 5% and the control were not significantly different. The 10% GAL coating gave the highest protein (58.29%) and ash (4.01) and the lowest fat (2.72) percentages. Increasing the DP to 96 hrs resulted in a significantly lowest percentage of moisture (10.82) and highest protein (77.43), fat (4.35) and ash (5.01). Increasing the GAL resulted in a non-significant (p>0.05) increase of redness (a*) and decreased yellowness (b*). The study concluded that Gum Arabic powder as natural edible coating improved the nutritional value and appearance, of sun dried camel meat.

Title: Infertility in the Female dromedaries: A Review on Pathological Ovarian Structure and Uterine Pathology Authors: A. Zaher, Hany; F. Al-Fares, Abdullah; E. Badawi, Majdi; M. Saadeldin, Islam; A. Swelum, Ayman . Abstract: The dromedary camel (camelus dromedaries) has a natural ability to produce quality meat, milk and fibre under very hot and most hostile climatic condition; however it is reproductively weak and has received the least attention among livestock animal species. Camel is a seasonal breeder, induced ovulatory and the gestation period is about 13 months. In this concise review, we shed the light on some ovarian and uterine pathological conditions that dramatically affect female camel reproductive efficiency including ovarian follicular cysts, corpus luteal cysts, persistent corpus luteum, early embryonic loss and camel breeders and owners and require early and careful interference to improve the camel reproduction.

Fistulation technique and insertion of a permanent cannula into the fore stomach of the camel (Camelus dromedarius)

Title: Fistulation technique and insertion of a permanent cannula into the fore stomach of the camel (Camelus dromedarius) Authors: H. Talib, N.; A. Elnazir, B.; R. Sulieman, Y. Abstract: This study presents a comparatively easy and practical method for longterm fistulation and insertion of a proper rumen cannulae in the fore stomach of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). As an advantage, it is important to point that this technique is simple, less laborious to do than traditional two-stage techniques in which ones had to do a second ruminotomy to implant the cannula (Ward et al., 1950). Overall, the rumen fistulation of dromedary camels were very difficult because of choosing the proper cannula, spleen of ventral position, smaller abdominal cavity compared to cattle leading to that the rumen is small and a pit cranially positioned and finally thick abdominal walls specially in she-camel.
