Abstract
Blood samples were collected from 16 (8 male and 8
female) apparently healthy nomadic camels from
nearby Pune. Serum samples were analyzed for certain
biochemicals. No significant difference was observed
in Total Proteins, Albumin, Globulin, Calcium and
Phosphorus between male and female camels with
values of Total proteins and Globulin slightly
higher in females and that of Albumin, Calcium and
Phosphorus slightly higher in males. Significantly
higher (P<0.01) levels are observed with respect to
A: G ratio in male animals than females, whereas
significantly higher (P<0.01) value of Creatinine
and BUN (P<0.05) were observed in female animals as
compared to males.
