EFFET DU REGIME ALIMENTAIRE SUR LA PRODUCTION LAITIERE DES CHAMELLES EN SYSTEME D’ELEVAGE INTENSIF - CAS DE LA REGION DE GHARDAÏA (SAHARA SEPTENTRIONAL ALGERIEN)

Abstract

To cover the increasing demand for camel milk, known for its therapeutic properties, the intensive breeding of dairy camel show a significant development in the region of Ghardaia. The livestock behavior of this speculation is conducted in a similar way as in dairy cow breeding, where the feeding which represents the keystone of any breeding is practiced in a non-mastered and not adequate way for the dromedary. The present work is to study the effect of breeder regime RE and other four experimental diets: RP, RCT, RF and R.élévat on milk production of dairy camels conducted in intensive livestock in the region of Ghardaia. The average production by the studied diet is 2.83 to 3.02 liter/day/she-camel. The effect of the studied diets on the level of production of dairy camels is very important than on the daily milk yield. Diets characterized by a high energy or protein density, a nutrient waste, also an exaggerated incorporation of concentrates (like corn and/or foods rich in fermentable carbohydrates as dates), such diets have a negative influence on milk yield and more significant on the level of production (P􀀀0,05). Nevertheless, the green forage and roughage of good quality promote milk production and develop the level of production of she-camel (P􀀀0,05). In the current state of the genetic potential of dairy camels, the energetic regimes may deviate the digestion and the metabolism to gain body weight and the constitution of reserves at the expense of milk production.
