A total of 28, 139 and 250 records belonging to 2000 to 2008 were analysed to study the age at first calving, calving interval and gestation length in Indian camel breeds. The age at first calving was 2020.02±59.88 days, calving interval was 676.71±10.60 days and gestation length was 384.12±0.98 days. Though the effect of breed was nonsignificant (P>0.05) on age at first calving, there was enough variation and hence scope for the improvement of this parameter for attaining the puberty at an early age. Proper feeding, management and individual attention are some of the aspects which can be of great use in improving the reproductive efficiency of the camel herd. Induction of puberty in prepubertal females, postpartum breeding and non-seasonal breeding can also be attempted to reduce the age at first calving and calving interval in female camels Not Available |
