Article Synopsis
- The study examined camel hair fibers from Sudanese camels in Egypt to assess their quality and variability, focusing on how the sex of the animal impacted these characteristics.
- It found that camel sex did not significantly influence most physical traits of the fibers, although females had higher potassium content while males had higher glutamic acid levels.
- The research also revealed important correlations between fiber diameter and various traits, indicating potential ways to enhance the quality of camel hair fibers for use.
Sheep is an important producing animal in subtropical and arid regions; however, sheep farming practices and welfare standards are still not well established. To move to either intensive or intensive sheep production, stocking density (animal/area, SD) is a significant factor that influencing the welfare and productivity of animals. However, there are discrepancies in space allowance standards for wool, meat, and dairy sheep at different stages.

In the present work, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), as a spectrochemical analytical technique, and principal component analysis (PCA) as a multivariate analysis method were used to evaluate colostrum compared to mature milk of sheep to plan the nutritional strategies for newly born lambs. Samples of colostrum have been collected from thirty-three Barki ewes.
