Wardeh, M.F. (Arab Center for the Studies of Arid Zones and Dry Lands, Damascus (Syria))
Camel milk is the staple food for prolonged periods of the year in many pastoral societies in Asia and Africa. Camels are being utilised as a mean of capital for food (milk and meat) production, burden, transport and for pleasure as sport animals in pastoral and agropastoral areas. A new system has been suggested for the classification of the dromedary camels into dairy, meat, dual-purpose and race camels. This paper presents a brief description of the major dairy breeds types in Arab countries, and lays out a foundation for a basis for a classification system for the dromedary camels according to their production potentialities within the different pastoral and agro pastoral systems.
