Abstract
Normal concentrations of some blood constituents were determined in young male Najdi (Saudi) camels. The mean values were as follows: total protein = 62.3 ± 8.9 g/ l, albumin = 33.5 ± 8.9 g/l, bilirubin = 8.7 ± 1.7 μmol/1, urea = 6.6 ± 1 μ mol/1, uric acid = 232 ± 35.7 μmol/1, iron = 10.4 ± 5.7 μ mol/1, total iron binding capacity = 40.4 ± 7.3 μmol/1, AST = 12 ± 5 IU/l ALT = 9 ± 4 IU/l and ALP = 42.6 ± 21.3 IU/1. These values were compared with those reported by other investigators in camels with different ages, sexes and breeds as well as with blood constituents in true ruminants.
