Abstract

A total number of 37 Egyptian camels belonged to Bani-Adi village, Assiut Governorate constituted the material of this investigation. Animals were proved to be healthy by both clinical and laboratory methods of examinations. Animals were classified into male group (young and adult) and female group (non pregnant and pregnant). Blood sera were collected from each animal to estimate the macro- elements including sodium, potossium, chloride, calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels. Also estimation of microelements including iron, copper and zinc levels were carried out to evaluate the influence of both sex and reproductive status upon micro and macro elements in camel's blood.
