Morphological Studies on the Vagina and Vestibule of Dromedary Camels (Camelus dromedarius)

The camel (Camelus dromedarius) is an important multipurpose livestock species and its meat represents about 10% of the red meat consumption in Egypt. The reproductive efficiency of camel under natural condition is generally considered to be low. Sound knowledge about the tubular genital organs of t...
