DROMEDARY CAMELS IN SUDAN, TYPES AND SUB TYPES, DISTRIBUTION AND MOVEMENT
Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Res & Analy - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
It is believed that dromedary camels entered Sudan from Egypt based on a specimen of camel hair rope of an old kingdom found at Fayum in Upper Egypt 2980-2475 B.C. In Sudan, the oldest evidence is a bronze figure of a camel with saddle found at Meroe 25-15 B.C., indicating that the animal moved south by that period. Sudan holds the second largest camel population in the world (about 4.4 million). Camels in Sudan and elsewhere are classified as pack (heavy) and riding (light) types according to their function. Recent studies have been made to classify the camels according to their performance (dairy camels, meat camels, dual purpose camels and racing camels). The following classification for the Sudanese camels is based on conformational and tribal ownership: pack; riding; hybrid. The pack camel is the heavy type which makes up the majority of camels that are maintained by nomads (about 80%). These camels are subgrouped into Arabi types and Rashaidi (Sawahli, Deaily and Souda) types. The riding camel is the light type which breeds mainly in the northeast part of the country and in the River Nile State. The best riding camels in the country are found east of the Nile and mainly in Kassala State and Red Sea State. The 2 main types are Annafi and Bishari camels. The hybrid camels takes its own line on breeding. They are called Asshab (Anafi and Arabi), Kilaiwau [Anafi and Shallagyai (Bishari)] and Banagir [Anafi and Amirab (Bishari)]. Generally, Darfur and Kordufan camel types move north and south, and the eastern camel types mostly move west and east. The camels avoid the clay soil and Tsetse fly on southern part of the country during the rainy season while searching for water and food.
