Abstract

To identify Body weight and phenotypic diversity of camel populations in the southern region of Kerman province, morphological characteristics and body measurements of 285 heads of camels (255 females and 30 males) belonging to 4 different camel Ecotypes from 12 regions of the Jaz-eMurian was measured. The Ecotypes involved Native, Roudbari, Zahedani and Pakistani camel populations. The biometric traits included length of the body, length of the neck, length of hind and fore leg, heart and barrel girth, chest and barrel depth, height at the withers, height of hip, height of the hump and Body weight were studied. Data were analyzed with GLM and CORR procedures via SAS 9. 1 program. For Roudbari camels, the average length of neck, hind and foreleg were greater than other camel Ecotypes. Alternatively, for the Pakistani camels, and as compared to other Ecotypes, the length of body (152. 23 ± 1. 37), heart girth (200. 29 ± 2. 42) and barrel girth (237. 29 ± 0. 69) were significantly greater (p<0. 01). Also, Phenotypic measurements and Body weight were significantly influenced by the type of camel and age groups. The average for traits such as body length, length of hind and fore leg, chest girth and depth, barrel depth, height at the withers and Body weight in female camels’ population were lower as compared to male camels. Positive correlation was observed between the height at the hump and height at the withers (r = 0. 41), the height at the hump and height at hip (r = 0. 45), the chest depth and the abdominal circumference (r = 0. 43). Body weight had a positive and significant correlation with each of the traits studied excluding neck length. Consistently, the highest correlation value was calculated for Body weight and thoracic girth (r = 0. 81), followed by the its correlation with abdominal circumference (r = 0. 65). However, the length of the neck showed negative correlations with the heart girth, the height at the withers and the Body weight. The average live Body weight in Pakistani camel Ecotypes was significantly higher than other Ecotypes (p<0. 01). The results of present study showed that there were phenotypic diversities between different camel Ecotypes, and Pakistani camels show significantly different traits as compared to other camel Ecotypes in the southern region of Kerman province.
