Abstract

Forty dromedary camels of both sexes (25 male and 15 female) were included in this study. All camels were healthy and selected after careful clinical examination. Blood samples were collected and serum total protei ns and protein electrophoresis were estimated. Mean values of total serum p < /strong>rotein in healthy male and female camels were 88.25+3.32 g/L and 89.06+3.99 g/L respectively, seru n protein electrophoresis was deter mined using agarose - film. Mean values of serum Albumin, B.
, P. and 8 - globulins in healthy male camels were 46.98+1.95%,
23.63
,86%.ماه
8.53+1.92% ,
12.89 +
2.62%
and
7.95+1.03%
respectively. In
female dromdary camels the mean values were 55.21+4.02%, 20.48+1.88%, 6.21+1.31%, 11.57+ 2.20% and 6.84+0.90% respectively. No significant differ ences in the values of electrophoretic parameters were observed between male and female dromedary camels.
