Abstract

The aim of the study was to phenotypic characterize the two Sudanese ecotypes according to their phenotypic measurements. Body measurements data were obtained on 256 camels from two Sudanese ecotypes (Arabi and Anaffi type). The data collected from central of Butana area-Sudan. The results revealed that the breed of camel had significant (P<0.05) effect on barrel circumference, heart circumference, body weight and neck length. The Arabi camel was observed had significantly (P<0.05) higher values of barrel circumference, heart circumference, body weight and neck length compared to the Anafi camel. Moreover, the results revealed that sex of camel was significantly (P<0.05) affected the most studied traits. The male camels had significantly (P<0.05) higher values of heart circumference, height at wither, body weight, face length and fore head length than those of female camels; but females had significantly (P<0.05) longer neck than that of males. The age group had significantly (P<0.05) influence on all studied measurements except height at hump was insignificantly (P>0.05) affected. The all tested measurements had increasing trend from 1st age group (3-4 years) to 4th age group (9-10 years), after which some measurements were slightly increased and others were slightly declined.
