Factors Affecting Sperm Production In The One-humpted Camel =

The current work was devoted to study gonadal and epididymal sperm reserve of the one—bumped camel. For this purpose, the testis and epididynis of 115 camels of un1iown breeding history were collected from Cairo abattoir during a period of one year. The tThe latter was counted using modified Neubauer haemocytometers.The carcass weight of the camels studied revealed a steady i.ncrease with age to reach a peak of 301.05 kg at 10.5—12 years. In older animals of more than 12.5 years, a. clear decline in carcass weight to 262.35 kg was observed. The overall average carcas
