Beyond that, it provides a new welfare assessment tool. Expert authors lay the groundwork for understanding the animals by covering domestication, camels´ behavioral repertoire and needs, as well as dromedary camel genetics and coping with production systems. Then, the reader is equipped with the latest expertise on good management practices in camel farms, including transport, feeding, housing from racing to dairy systems, and health and hygiene. Moreover, the impact of innovative reproduction techniques and, finally, slaughter are taken into account. Camels, long confined to desert areas and kept extensively, have recently faced changes in husbandry systems and their environment. Intensification and specialization for milk, meat or sport purpose, as well as new geographic conditions have had significant impact on camel welfare. This book is a must-read for all camel industry members, breeders, veterinarians, and researchers, who want to practice camel breeding and management while safeguarding the behavioral needs and welfare of these amazing animals.Animal Welfare ;24Veterinary medicineAnimal welfareMoral and ethical aspectsPhysiologyAgricultureVeterinary ScienceAnimal EthicsAnimal PhysiologyAgricultureVeterinary medicine.Animal welfareMoral and ethical aspects.Physiology.Agriculture.Veterinary Science.Animal Ethics.Animal Physiology.Agriculture.636.089Padalino Barbara1588957Faye Bernard657611MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910805572403321Dromedary Camel Behavior and Welfare3883220UNINA
