The remarkable resistance of large camels to extreme climatic conditions, their service functions (transport, riding or management of pastoral areas), as well as the quality and good value of their products on national and international markets (milk, meat or wool), have led to the emergence over the last few decades of a new industry for these species, which until recently were confined to the subsistence of nomadic populations living in the desert regions of Africa and Asia. This industry is now being established not only in the countries of origin, but also in the Western world, where livestock management, based on practices implemented for the bovine species, often proves to be ineffective. This reference book, the only one of its kind in French, is therefore intended for all those involved in the industry, whether they are concerned with breeding activities, technical advice or the care of large camelids. It successively describes general information on the species, the physiological bases of reproduction, lactation and feeding, the main productions, as well as health and hygiene management in camel breeding. 606 $aVeterinary medicine 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 676 $a636.089 700 $aFaye$b Bernard$0657611 702 $aMagnan$b Ce?cile 702 $aKonuspayeva$b Gaukhar 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910584589003321 996 $aL'e?levage des grands came?lide?s$93363405 997 $aUNINA
