It successively describes the general aspects of the species, the physiological bases of reproduction, lactation and feeding, the main production processes, and health and hygiene management in camel breeding. Chapters on slaughter, important camel products and their processing complete the volume. Large camels (camels and Bactrian camels) are domestic animals that are increasingly used in Western countries, as well as in Africa and Asia, for tourism, sport, and production of milk, meat, and wool. In addition, camel husbandry systems are changing, taking a greater share of sedentary systems, specializing in breeding, and intensifying production. At the same time, many veterinarians and breeders are not familiar with the animal, its needs, physiology, diseases, and management, which is often based on practices introduced for cattle and proving ineffective. This work is a practical aid for all interested readers who want to embark on the adventure of working with large camelids in a cultural context where they are not yet a dominant element of the agricultural landscape. The numerous photographs and drawings that support the text make it a unique and entertaining read. 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aFood science 606 $aVeterinary Science 606 $aVeterinary Clinical Medicine 606 $aAnimal Physiology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aFood Science 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aFood science. 615 14$aVeterinary Science. 615 24$aVeterinary Clinical Medicine. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aFood Science. 676 $a636.295 700 $aFaye$b Bernard$0657611 701 $aKonuspayeva$b Gaukhar$01290000 701 $aMagnan$b Cécile$01460504 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910770259603321 996 $aLarge Camel Farming$93660327 997 $aUNINA
