Abstract

This study was carried out on 15 clinically healthy dromedary camel calves . Blood samples were taken monthly till the 8th month. The results of this investigation showed that R.B.Cs count, haemoglobin and PCV % were increased with age till the 8th month. Also, results showed that alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in calves were the same as in adults, and they did not show significant variation with age. However, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were higher than normal­ly seen in adult camels. On the other hand, a significant decline in alka­line phosphatase levels from the 4th - 8th months of age was observed. No significant changes were observed in the concentration of creatinine during the first 8 months of age. Urea levels were significantly increased up to 5 months of age, then, they became constant during 5 - 8 months. Serum glucose levels were high initially, and then, significantly decreased from the 3rd to 8th months of age. No significant changes were observed in the concentration of calcium, potassium and chloride during the first 8 months of age. Phosphorus levels were elevated during the first four months of age, and decreased during the period from 5 - 8 months. Serum iron levels were significantly increased up to 5 months, and became constant during 5 - 8 months. Regarding serum vitamin C, its level was significantly increased with age till the 8th month of age. Serum beta carotene and vitamin A levels were declined from the 1st -4th month, and it became nearly stable from 5 - 8 months of age .
