Abstract

Inormation on the reproduction in camel continues to be poorly known and scattered. Some interesting features
include seasonality of breeding, delayed puberty, peculiar anatomy of the reproductive structures, poorly defined
estrus and estrous cycle and induced nature of the ovulation. Other interesting features include exclusive left uterine
horn pregnancy, faster demise of the corpus luteum in the absence of pregnancy, an early maternal recognition of
pregnancy, upward curling of tail (tail cocking) by Day 15 of pregnancy, diffuse placenta and a longer gestation period
of 12-13 months. This review collates scientific data on the above interesting features of female camel reproduction.
