Last centenary there is an increasing attention for camel dairy products, which create an attractive- ness for camel breeding with high dairy productivity. Camel physiology and adaption ability on the background of climatic changes push for interest for these animals as an important livestock species at international level, therefore, high productive camels could become an important milk source in arid zones. In this article the difference in camel milk composition, milk productivity and udder morphology of Aruana breed and hybrids from three regions of Kazakhstan was determined. According to camel milk composition the percentage of well-classed was 83.8 %: 93.3% of the Aruana were well classed vs 77.9% of the Kospak and 68.2% of the Nar-Maya. The main discriminating factors were in the order, the density and fat content in camel milk. Studying milk composition of camel breeds and populations could give us an opportunity to improve milk quality and milk productivity of local camels.
