Implication

Investigations evaluate differences in physiological and biochemical traits of male and female Bactrian camels, highlighting conservation needs.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess sexual dimorphism in morphological, physiological, biochemical, and hematological traits of high-altitude Bactrian camels.
  • Comparative analysis of phenotypic, physiological, hematological, and biochemical parameters in four adult Bactrian camels of each sex from high-altitude regions.
  • Statistical significance testing for differences between male and female camels with p-values reported.
  • Males exhibited significantly (p < 0.05) higher body length and body circumference than females.
  • Significantly (p < 0.05) higher platelet count in males compared to females, with other haematological parameters showing no significant differences.
  • Higher albumin, total protein, and HDL levels were observed in males (p < 0.05).
