The importance of camel refers to its use in transport of goods and passengers and production of meat, milk, wooly hair and hide . Accordngly, some attention should be directed towards its improvement .

In addition, the pituitary gland and its hormones have a profound effect on growth and development. However little is known about determination of the role of the pituitary gland in pre-natal life and the relationship between of the genitalia of the camel.
