Its role in the daily life cannot be ignored, it plays important role in food chain by adding meat, milk and milk products. Hides and hairs of camels are also used in tannery and cosmetic industry. Camels have ability to produce 15-20 litres of milk if proper management and feeding practices are established on farms. Fattening of camel calves can result in increase of 1kg of meat per day. Ability of camels to survive in both extreme hot and cold weather makes it a unique animal. Production of camel in Pakistan is at its modest level in most of the areas due to improper feeding and management. Haemoparasitism is a major setback in the production of camel.
The study was carried out on camels in villages of six tehsils of district Attock under natural conditions. Blood samples were carefully collected from randomly selected camels from different villages. Wet smear was made on the spot by blood from marginal vein of ear and was fixed using ethanol then 10 ml of blood was collected from the same camel from jugular vein by using 10 ml sterile disposable syringe, 3ml blood was stored in ca-edta vacutainor and other 5 ml in plain vacutainer. Age, sex and breed of the animal were carefully noted. After the collection of sample, it was transported to government district laboratory where the serum was separated from the sample in a plain vacutainer by centrifugation and was freezed the sample was then transported to department of pathology, university of veterinary and animal sciences Lahore in cold chain. Wet blood smear was stain with field stain, and then these smears were used for haemoparasite detection. CBC and serum chemistry were done. Results showed that haemoparasitism causes alteration in haematology and serum chemistry of the sample which can be helpful for diagnosing as well as differential diagnosis of haemoparasites in camels.
