dc.description.abstract	Camel calves are important as they are the future camels, without which the herd cannot grow and neither would milk be available. Under traditional pastoral production systems, recent research has reported mortality rates of up to 60% among calves aged below three months. This high mortality is mainly attributed to diseases like diarrhoea, tick paralysis and competition for milk with humans, among others. Several strategies have been formulated and can be used to increase camel calf survival rate and herd size which provides milk to the family and income through sale of live camels.
