Abstract

The present work was preformed to special part of our country, the land which observed four wars in the last century and many trips, journeys from friends and enemies, Sinai, with special reference to animal especially tread as desert boat, the camel. Our data demonstrated that the Camel Dromedary (Camelus dromedaries) in Sinai area, the zinc level in serum was (33.79 ±0.17 ug /dl); liver ( 112.57 ± 0.008 µg / gm DM), muscle ( 112.42 ±0.04 µg / gm DM), kidney (103.77 ± 0.01µg / gm DM), heart ( 54.66 ±0.007 µg / gm DM), spleen ( 54.66 ±0.007 µg / gm DM), ovary ( 36.15 ±0.05 µg / mg DM) and testis (15.27 ± 0.008 µg / gm DM). While serum copper concentrations was 54.66 ±0.21 µg / dl kidney (124.65 ± 0.017 µg / gm DM), liver ( 115.3 ±0.24 µg / gm DM), muscle ( 111.25 ±0.45 µg /gm DM), spleen ( 55.94 ±0.018 µg / gm DM), heart ( 48.49 ±0.025 µg/gm DM), ovary ( 40.8 ±0.017 µg / gm DM) and testis (28.46 ±0.016) The present data revealed that the higher concentrations of both serum zinc and copper levels are present in sera of camels in south Sinai than north Sinai and in the female she-camel than male camel with age related references to over 5 years. The serum zinc level was highest values, in south Sinai especially in female over 5 years (41.87 ±0.05 µg / dl) but lower in female and male age (2-4 years) and males over 5 years in the same area (34.65 ±0.22 µg / dl) The serum copper concentrations in south Sinai female over 5 years were 57.12 ± 0.34 µg / dl compared with female (2-4 years) (53.93 plus/minus 0.16 µg / dl) There was influence of the breeding season on the serum zinc and copper levels in either male or female, the serum zinc concentrations increased during breeding season especially in female in the south Sinai (32.25±0.18 µg/dl). Serum copper level showed high significant increase in its level in female in south Sinai (60.30±1.08 µg/dl) than in north Sinai (56.50 ± 0.11 µg/dl). Zinc concentrations in kidney of she camel were (187.05 ± 0.013 µg/gm DM), heart (79.18 ± 0.005 µg/gm DM), spleen (58.59±0.02 µg/gm DM) and ovary (36.15 ± 0.05 µg/gm DM). Similarly, copper concentrations were higher in kidney (211.05 ± 0.022 µg/gm DM), followed by heart (89.35±0.016 µg/gm DM), spleen (66.19± 0.018 µg/gm DM) and ovary (40.80 ± 0.05 µg/gm DM) than male in the she-camel. The data indicated that the camel breeds in south Sinai contain higher concentrations of zinc and copper levels than camels in north Sinai and there were significant differences between camels due to age and/or sex and/or breeding season and/or geographical variations.
