Milk progesterone profiles were used to monitor the ovarian changes during the post-partum period of five she-camels. Milk samples were collected daily for 60 days from four suckling camels (1-4) and from one animal whose calf died on day 3. Progesterone was determined using the Ovucheck Bovine progesterone kits. The first increase of progesterone level in the five animals occurred on days 28, 26, 21, 24 and 20 respectively. At least two progesterone peaks of 6 +/- 2 SD days' duration occurred during the 60 days. An early one day peak was also noticed in three animals. |
