The book presents recent studies on camel and desert sciences achieved by Central Asian and NATO countries. It insists on the new trends in sciences and development of camel rearing with the aim to highlight the eminent role of camel producers for the improvement of desert productivity. The book includes topics on selection breeding, camel keeping, productiveness, products and health. The publication of those recent results in the camel sciences field contributes to the development of camel production as a part of the desert production and hopefully, to the change of camel status in desert, to be considered as a productive animal rather than a desert ship.
