Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of lactation camel supplements with feed on milk yield and its constitute under conditions of Khartoum, Sudan. A total of 120 she-camels were used in three cities in Khartoum state: Bahri, Khartoum, and Omdurman, with forty she-camels in each city. Each camel in the group feeding was offered a basic ration of 2 kg containing 17% crude protein (CP) and 12% metabolism energy (ME). Before the trial, the average milk productivity per camel was 5.1 liters/day, 6.3 liters/day, and 7.6 liters/day in Khartoum, Omdurman, and Bahri, respectively. However, the supplement had the effect of increasing the milk yield to 9.2 liters/day (56%), 11.5 liters/day (55%), and 15.3 liters/day (49%) for the camels in Khartoum, Omdurman, and Bahri, respectively. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) indicated that the results were highly significant (P<0.01). It was concluded that grazing camels for seven hours per day and providing them with a supplement in fences increases milk yield. Adding concentrated feed after grazing provides an abundance of nutrients that are converted into milk. This is because the intestine is poor and does not meet the animals’ needs, and the hours of grazing are not enough to cover the animals’ needs. The research recommended adopting a semi-intensive system for better milk production and performance.
