Being a multipurpose animal, the camels are even today not only a
vital component of desert ecosystem but a live asset of the people
in the irrigated planes and cities of many developing countries as
it is the camel's ability to convert the scanty desert food sources
into milk and meat for human consumption. Genetics could be a
powerful tool to modify animal growth rate and body composition,
and has been largely used to adapt animal production to the market
requirements. In the present project an effort has been made to
determine genetic analysis for genetic differences in the local
Pakistani camel breeds, which have so far been differentiated only
on the basis of phenotypic appearance, geographical location or on
the tribal ownership. The data collected in this project would not
only help to recognize the camels belonging to different regional
herds and or breeds but also in their future breeding programmes
which may ultimately provide considerable boost in performance
traits.
