| Abstract |
|
This study was conducted
to estimate the performance of some important reproductive traits of
Sudanese Arabic Camel (Camelus dromedarius) in Tumbool Camel
Research Centre (TCRC). The information used in statistical analysis was
taken from records of TCRC's herd (eight she-camels, two bull-Camels and
their progenies). The herd was managed under intensive closed system
during five years (2007-2011). The results showed that the mean gestation length
was 387.23±7.90 days, while the mean of calving interval was found to be
556.20±70.35 days. The mean of the open period was recorded to be
150.10±59.30 days and the mean number of services per conception was
2.4±1.7. Reproductive performances studied under intensive management
system indicated significant improvement compared to those studied under
traditional extensive management system.
