Article Synopsis
- Camels' Feeding Behavior
- : The study investigates how camels (lactating) select between high-protein alfalfa and high-energy barley while grazing in a desert environment, examining their ability to meet nutritional needs.
-
- Methodology
- : Eighteen camels were divided into three groups to graze on either alfalfa, barley, or a mix of both over two one-month periods. Energy expenditure was monitored using heart rate monitors calibrated with an oxygen consumption system.
-
- Findings
- : Camels showed better forage intake and digestibility with barley in the first period, but overall energy balance favored barley grazing. Despite this, camels grazing on alfalfa produced higher milk yields compared to those solely on
