The normal concentrations of some blood constituents were determined in adult one-humped camels from Libya and Sudan. The current study employed the Mindray BC-5000 analyzer to conduct biochemical measurements on thirty adult dromedary camels. Results obtained were compared and interpreted in light of findings reported by other researchers about camelids. The study investigated the normal concentrations of blood constituents in adult one-humped camels from Libya and Sudan. The results indicated that the mean values of total protein were 8.59 ± 0.64 g/dL and 8.74 ± 0.37 g/dL in the Libyan and Sudanese camels, respectively. For albumin, the mean concentrations were 3.47±1.03 g/dL and 3.92±0.53 g/dL, while for globulin, they were 5.03±0.41 g/dL and 4.83± 0.44 g/dL in experimental animals respectively. The mean Na concentrations were 153.44 ± 3.04 mmol/l in Libyan camels and 164.39 ± 4.29 mmol/l in Sudanese camels. Ca levels were found to be 11.89 ± 0.74 mmol/l and 9.90 ± 1.37 mmol/l in Libyan and Sudanese camels, respectively. The values of K concentrations showed 5.880 ± 0.102 mmol/l and 6.860 ± 0.249 mmol/l in Libyan and Sudanese camels respectively. While ESR was measured at 0.40 ± 0.13 mmol/c in the study. Conclusion, the study provides a preliminary report on hematological and serum biochemical parameters of camel in North Africa (Libya). Furthermore, future studies can explore blood standards and biochemical measurements across various age groups of Camelus dromedaries to enhance the applicability and interpretation of biochemical data in camel research.
