Abstract

To cover theincreasingdemandfor camel milk, known for its therapeutic properties, theintensivebreeding of dairy camelshow asignificant developmentin the regionof Ghardaia. Thelivestockbehaviorof this speculationis conducted ina similarwayas in dairy cow breeding, where the feeding which represents thekeystone of anybreedingis practicedin a non-mastered and notadequate wayforthe dromedary.The present workis tostudy the effect ofbreeder regime REand other fourexperimentaldiets: RP, RCT, RF andR.élévatonmilk production ofdairy camelsconductedin intensive livestockin the regionof Ghardaia. Theaverageproduction by thestudied diet is 2.83 to 3.02 liter/day/she-camel. The effect of thestudied dietsonthe level of productionofdairy camels isvery important thanon thedaily milk yield. Dietscharacterized by a highenergy or protein density,a nutrientwaste, alsoan exaggerated incorporationof concentrates(like cornand/orfoods rich infermentable carbohydratesas dates),such dietshave a negative influenceon milk yieldand moresignificantonthe level of production.
