Download or read book Milk and Meat from the Camel written by Omar Abdulkadir Sh. Abdurahman and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 2004 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camel husbandry is becoming increasingly important in the arid zones of Africa. The camel has long been the mainstay of pastoral societies due to its drought tolerance, reliable milk and meat supply and ability to feed on a wide variety of plants. In the last few years, however, camels are also seen more and more in semi-arid rangelands, especially where overgrazing has depleted the grasses and increased the relative importance of shrubs. In spite of this growing importance, research on camel was limited until the early seventies to studies on topics such as anatomy, physiology, behaviour and to a lesser extent disease. However, since the early eighties the interest of the research on camels has been growing. Most advances have been made in reproductive physiology, veterinary and in the biochemistry of milk, while practical oriented research on improving camel productivity by developing marketable products targeting small and middle enterprises regrettably received little attention. This book attempts to fill this gap. The authors have profound knowledge on use of the camel as milk and meat animal. This knowledge is based on results of research work carried out in partnership with universities, camel farmers and pastoralists in Eastern African countries. The first part deals with chemical composition, technological properties, hygienic safety and quality control of camel milk. This is followed by the presentation of processing methods for different dairy products which should allow smallholder producers to process milk on farm or in centralised small scale dairy unit. In the second part special knowledge gained in slaughtering, deboning and processing of camels on-site over several years of long-term stays on the Ol Maisor Farm in Kenya is presented. During the development of camel meat products the authors set a great value on the keeping quality of the products as well as creating a wide range of product groups with low and high cost for the local market and a good shelf life. The book presents background information and recipes on the manufacture of camel milk and meat products and it is intended as a practical guide to professionals, government bodies and development agencies interested in building up small scale processing units for camel meat and milk products. It is hoped that it may also serve as a reference for extension personal working with camel herders, food scientists and students. The book is concerned entirely with the one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius). The term "camel" should, therefore, be taken to refer to this species unless specifically stated otherwise.

Download or read book Microbiological Quality of Goat Milk Obtained Under Different Production Systems written by Joan Kitiibwa Kyozaire and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliability of quality of milk produced by smallholder farmers was assessed by means of a comparative analysis of the microbiological quality and somatic cell counts (SCC) of the raw milk obtained from dairy goats. Information regarding dairy goat farming and goat milk production in and around Pretoria was initially determined by means of a questionnaire. With this information, dairy goat herds were selected for the study, based on the fact that these farms produced milk for both domestic and commercial consumption. The study was conducted on three commercial dairy goat farms each under a different production system, the extensive, semi-intensive and intensive production systems. The method of milking varied with the type of production system; hand milking, bucket system and pipeline milking respectively. Udder health under the respective production systems was assessed by means of bacterial analysis of udder half milk samples. Bacteriology of bulk milk samples was also determined in order to assess the level of hygiene in the milking environment. In addition, water samples from the different farms were analysed for their microbial quality. Results of these parameters were compared between the different production systems using the analysis of variance. Capability of safe raw milk production by smallholder dairy goat farmers was then evaluated from the results obtained. Reliability of the SCC as a reflection of goat udder health was also evaluated. Further assessment was carried out to determine the relationship between udder conformation and presence of intra-mammary infection and SCC of the raw milk. Bacteria potentially capable of producing either food poisoning or enhanced spoilage of raw milk were cultured from the goat milk samples. These included pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Enterococcus faecalis, found associated with use of milking machines as was the case in the intensive and semi-intensive production systems compared to the extensive production system. The prevalence of intramammary infection was 33.3%. Coagulase negative staphylococci were the most common cause of intramammary infection with a prevalence of 86.6% of the infected udder halves. They includedStaphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus simulans and Staphylococcus intermedius. The remaining 13.4% of the infection was due to Staphylococcus aureus. Somatic Cell Counts were not a reflection of udder health status, hence, not reliable in the prediction of goat udder health (p = 0.2 Fisher’s exact test of association). No significant relationship was proved to exist between the udder conformation and presence of intra-mammary infection or SCC of the milk produced. Raw milk obtained by the bucket system milking machine had the lowest total bacterial count (TBC) (16 450 Colony Forming Units per millilitre [CFU/ml]) as compared to that by pipeline milking machine (36 300 CFU/ml) or hand milking (48 000 CFU/ml). In comparison to the other two production systems, it was shown that dairy goat farming under the extensive production system, where hand milking was practised, was adequate for production of safe raw goat milk. Coliforms were found to be the most predominantly isolated organisms from the raw milk obtained under the extensive production system. However, these can be eliminated by pasteurisation of the milk. The extensive production system, therefore, could be a means to promote dairy farming in developing communities through smallholder farmers. This could be facilitated by extension services aimed at monitoring management on the farms. This would, consequently, help alleviate the problem of food security and low income in these communities.

Download or read book Camel Clinical Biochemistry and Hematology written by Bernard Faye and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work brings together a wealth of data regarding the reference values and factors of variation in biochemical parameters used by camel veterinarians and scientists to determine these animals’ nutritional and clinical status. It also explores several technical aspects involved in determining these parameters, sampling procedures, and essential elements in the interpretation of the results. Though many texts are available on small and large ruminants, much less is known about species confined to the marginal zones of tropical and Mediterranean countries, such as camels. This book addresses precisely this research gap, on the one hand by presenting an extensive review of the literature, and on the other by synthesizing the outcomes of the authors’ numerous previous works. In veterinary medicine, blood tests to help diagnose diseases in cattle were first proposed nearly a century ago, but were mainly developed in the 1960s, initially at specialized research or veterinary services laboratories, and eventually, with the advent of new equipment and the miniaturization of the analyzers, finding their way into veterinarians’ cabinets. Beyond their diagnostic value, veterinary surgeons and zootechnicians also speculated on the potential use of blood tests to evaluate animals’ nutritional status. Thus, a whole range of analyses are now proposed to the stakeholders responsible for animal health. Such analyses could help to define a metabolic profile, which would offer a valuable decision-making tool for experts and researchers alike.

This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been a rise in the demand of alternative agricultural commodities, specifically camel milk-based products. Camel products have become highly coveted items in today’s commercial market due to their environmental and health advantages. However, there is a lack of research and literature on camel milk and related camel goods. Up-to-date information is needed to give researchers a better understanding of the compositional and functional properties of camel milk production. The Handbook of Research on Health and Environmental Benefits of Camel Products is an essential reference source that discusses the nutritional, physical, and chemical factors of camel milk in comparison to other animal milks and introduces benefits attributed to camel meat. The up-to-date potential health benefits of fresh and fermented camel milk in vitro and in vivo will be also covered in addition to the link between functional constituents and the functional properties of milk. The authors will review the recent research on the functional properties of camel milk such as the angiotensin converting enzyme, antimicrobial, anticancer, and hypocholesterolimic effects. Featuring research on topics such as colostrum composition, meat production, and nutritional value, this book is ideally designed for health professionals, environmentalists, dieticians, food industry professionals, researchers, academicians, and students seeking coverage on the compositional and physiological aspects of camel products.
