This work brings together a wealth of data regarding the reference
values and factors of variation in biochemical parameters used by
camel veterinarians and scientists to determine these animals'
nutritional and clinical status. It also explores several technical
aspects involved in determining these parameters, sampling
procedures, and essential elements in the interpretation of the
results. Though many texts are available on small and large
ruminants, much less is known about species confined to the
marginal zones of tropical and Mediterranean countries, such as
camels. This book addresses precisely this research gap, on the one
hand by presenting an extensive review of the literature, and on
the other by synthesizing the outcomes of the authors' numerous
previous works. In veterinary medicine, blood tests to help
diagnose diseases in cattle were first proposed nearly a century
ago, but were mainly developed in the 1960s, initially at
specialized research or veterinary services laboratories, and
eventually, with the advent of new equipment and the
miniaturization of the analyzers, finding their way into
veterinarians' cabinets. Beyond their diagnostic value, veterinary
surgeons and zootechnicians also speculated on the potential use of
blood tests to evaluate animals' nutritional status. Thus, a whole
range of analyses are now proposed to the stakeholders responsible
for animal health. Such analyses could help to define a metabolic
profile, which would offer a valuable decision-making tool for
experts and researchers alike.
