Abstract
Dromedary Camels are famous for their peculiar adaptation
to the harsh conditions prevailing in arid zones and to a lesser extent
in to semi-arid zone. They possess a distinct behavioural,
physiological and nutritional adaptive mechanisms that enable them
withstand extreme direct and indirect environmental stresses
Trace elements deficiencies in ruminants are common, but
the incidence and importance are probably underestimated because
of subclinical forms of deficiencies which can occur and go
unnoticed for long period. Moreover, manifestations of the diseases
appear to be widely spread in animals reared in arid land and
sometimes confusing, so proper diagnosis could not only be reached
by clinical examination alone but also through soil and diet analysis
in addition to specific clinical findings, as well as response to
specific mineral supplementation.
Thus, this study was trying to draw some attention on the
most important aspects of: occurrence of some nutritional
deficiency diseases in one humped camel as well as determining the
effect of these diseases on some haematological and biochemical
parameters.
- Also studying the concentrations of some trace elements in
plants and soil in order to investigate the probable cause/s of
deficiency diseases and design treatment plans.

This study was carried out on (80) adult camels (camelus
dromedaries) of both sex selected from different farms aged
