ABSTRACT

The present study was conducted on uncastrated male kutchi camels aged 2 to 16 years at Banaskantha (Gujarat, India) to evaluate the biochemical profile regarding reproductive and health status. The estimated total protein, calcium, cholesterol, creatinine and inorganic phosphorus were 7.07±1.83 g%, 6.47±1.25 mg%, 44.33±13.86 mg%, 1.02±0.28 mg% and 4.35±0.13 mg%, respectively. Except calcium, all the biochemical constituents had non-significant positive correlation with age.
Key words: Biochemical profile, breeding season, Kutchi camel
