Camels are animals that live in the desert. Many people are not familiar with camels. Camels are called "boats of the desert" mammals. Camels can live for two weeks without water and one month without food. The following is a complete collection of camel varieties.

Camel Variety Collection 1 1. Camels in Xinjiang

Xinjiang camels are widely distributed in Xinjiang, almost in all counties and cities, but 64% live in northern Xinjiang. As far as regions are concerned, Altay and Tacheng have the most.

Xinjiang has a vast land, and deserts and Gobi occupy a large area. In the past, transportation was inconvenient, mainly relying on camels. In frequent communication, the camel population is mixed with exotic camel species, so the camel body structure and size in different regions of Xinjiang are different, and the camel origin and ecological conditions in northern and southern Xinjiang are also different.

Camels in northern Xinjiang are short in body, symmetrical in structure, light in head, moderate in neck length, well-developed in bimodal, deep and wide in chest and short in limbs. The pile layer is thick and dense, and there are many brown hairs. The annual wool yield of camels in northern Xinjiang is generally 3-5 kg, and the highest male camel can reach 14 kg. Camels in Altay have only two months' leisure time every year, and they start light service at the age of 4-5. Adult camels generally carry 200 kilograms and travel 25-30 kilometers a day.

Camels in southern Xinjiang are meticulous and compact, with short coat, short and delicate hair, straight nose and sharp mouth, long neck and high limbs, deep chest, but insufficient width. The two peaks are shorter, the coat color is lighter, and there are more yellow and apricot yellow.

The maximum gross yield can reach more than 12 kg, and the maximum gross yield is 7- 12 years old. Cashmere is of excellent quality, with great difference in mass ratio, and the average net wool rate is about 75%. It is called "Wang Fu camel hair" at home and abroad.

Alashan female camel can produce milk 1- 1.5 kg per day, with a maximum of 2-2.5 kg. The lactation period is 14- 16 months. The slaughter rate is about 52%. The load-bearing capacity of Alashan camel is very strong, and the general load can reach 150-200 kg.

Third, Su Nite camel.

Camels in Su Nite are mainly distributed in Xilin Gol League, Wulanchabu League and their adjacent areas in Inner Mongolia, with Zuo Qi, Sunite Right Banner, Siziwangqi and Erenhot in Su Nite as production centers. The grasslands in the west of Xilin Gol League and the north of Wulanchabu League are mainly arid grasslands and semi-desert grasslands.

According to the body shape, appearance and reproductive characteristics, Alashan camels can be subdivided into Gobi camels and desert camels.

Su Nite camel

As long as Su Nite camels are distributed in Xilin Gol and Wulanchabu in eastern Inner Mongolia, Sudong Banner and Susie Banner in Xilin Gol are the core original producing areas of Su Nite camels, while Siwangzi Banner and Erenhot are also famous producing areas.

Xinjiang camel

Xinjiang is the main producing area of wild bactrian camels in China, and Xinjiang camels are distributed in China. There are more camels in northern Xinjiang than in southern Xinjiang, among which Altay and Tacheng have the largest number of camels. According to different habitats and ecological conditions, Xinjiang camels can be divided into northern Xinjiang camels and southern Xinjiang camels.

Camels in southern Xinjiang are meticulous and compact, with short coat, small head, short twin peaks, long neck, high limbs and narrow chest. Their coat colors are mainly yellow and apricot.

Camels in northern Xinjiang are short, but their bimodal development is better. It is tall, thick and dense, and its coat color is mainly brownish yellow, which is deeper than that of camels in southern Xinjiang.

Other camel breeds

The main camel varieties in China are Alashan Camel, Su Nite Camel and Xinjiang Camel, and other varieties are imported from abroad, with a small number.

The introduced camel species are still mainly bactrian camels, such as Kazakh camels and Mongolian camels. The number of dromedary camels originating in Africa and Southwest Asia is very small in China, and they are mainly raised in Kashgar and Aksu, Xinjiang, and are mainly used for camel milk production. At the same time, some hybrid camels are produced by crossing dromedary and bactrian camels.
